Ingredients
  

Roasted Squash, Kale & Feta Salad

  • 4 cups butternut squash cut into 1" cubes
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 bunches kale leaves only, chopped
  • ½ tsp kosher or sea salt
  • 4 oz feta cheese crumbled
  • ¼ cup roasted pumpkin seeds

Citrus Walnut Vinaigrette

  • 2 tbsp sherry vinegar
  • 1 orange zested and juiced
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp grainy mustard
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp walnut oil
  • 2 tbsp water
  • ½ tsp kosher or sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 450F. In a large bowl, toss the squash with the oil. Spread onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast 20 minutes, until squash is golden and cooked through.
  • In a large bowl, add the kale and salt. Use your hands to “massage” the salt into the kale, until the kale is bright green and silky-soft. Add in the roasted squash, feta cheese and pumpkin seeds.
  • To make the dressing, in a mason jar (with a tight-fitting lid), add all of the dressing ingredients and shake vigorously, until combined. Toss with the Citrus Walnut Vinaigrette.
