Kale, Butternut Squash + Pomegranate Salad with Lemon Tahini Dressing

Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1/2 butternut squash peeled, seeded and cut into 2 cups of small cubes
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 large bunch kale
  • 1/3 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/4 cup cup pine nuts
  • 1 shallot finely diced
Dressing
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp tahini
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tbsp honey (we used organic)
  • zest from one lemon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • lace the cubed butternut squash on a baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tsp olive oil and salt and bake in the oven for 20 minutes until tender and golden in colour.
  • While the butternut squash are baking, prepare the remaining ingredients. Remove the stems and chop the leaves into bite sized pieces. Place the chopped kale in a large salad bowl and sprinkle the leaves with a pinch of salt. With clean hands massage the kale leaves by scrunching it between your hands for about 1 minute. The kale will become darker in colour when you do this.
  • Add the pomegranate seeds, pine nuts and finely diced shallots to the kale.
  • In a blender combine the ingredients for the dressing and blend until thick and creamy.
  • Once the butternut squash is cooked, add it to the salad bowl along with the lemon & tahini dressing and toss until the leaves are coated. Serve.
