Kale and Roasted Butternut Squash Salad Recipe


  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and line a sheet pan with foil.

  • Toss butternut squash cubes with olive oil, everything seasoning, and rosemary in a large bowl. Pour onto the prepared pan in a single layer.

  • Roast, uncovered, in the preheated oven until squash is fork tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Place in the refrigerator to cool, about 15 minutes.

  • Stack kale leaves, roll up tightly, and cut across the roll in 1/8-inch slices, creating thin shreds (chiffonade). Place shreds in a large salad bowl. Add cabbage, apple, and pomegranate seeds, and butternut squash to the salad bowl.

  • For vinaigrette, pour pomegranate juice, olive oil, and red wine vinegar into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Add Dijon mustard, garlic, honey, and a little salt. Close the lid and shake vigorously. Taste, and adjust honey and salt, if necessary.

  • Pour vinaigrette over salad and toss. Garnish with walnuts, feta, and red onion, to taste.

    Cook’s Note

    This recipe was developed using pre-cut butternut squash. If using a whole, uncut squash, add some preparation time for peeling and cubing it.
