Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 bunches of kale (spines removed, and thinly sliced)
  • 1 lb of brussel sprouts (halved)
  • 1 delicata squash
  • 1 cauliflower (cut into small florets)
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
  • Dressing:
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup raw pecans
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice (aprox. 2 lemons)
  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat your oven to 425º.
  2. Line 2 sheet trays with parchment or silicon sheets. Spread out the brussel sprouts, squash and cauliflower on the trays so that the vegetables don’t overlap. Roast for 20 – 25 minutes until lightly charred around the edges.
  3. While the vegetables are roasting, make the dressing. Put all the dressing ingredients in a blender and pulse 6-8 times until combined and nuts are finely chopped but not pureed.
  4. Put the sliced kale in a large serving bowl and toss with the dressing. Continue to toss for a couple of minutes to massage the kale. It will shrink a little bit and make it more tender to eat.
  5. Once the vegetables are fully roasted toss them into the kale along with the pomegranate and pumpkin seeds.
  6. Toss to combine and serve.
  7. Any leftovers will last 1-2 days.

Notes

Serve with Brown Butter Sage & Squash Soup or add chopped chicken or other protein to enjoy as a main dish.
