Who ever said they donβt like kale hasnβt tried this salad! This sweet and savoury butternut squash kale salad with a creamy maple tahini dressing is the perfect way to make anyone fall in love with this hearty green.
Itβs the time of root veggies like squash, beets, carrots, sweet potato and all those gems you find in the soil. Roasted vegetables are one of my favourite things to eat because it just makes them sweeter and brings out all the flavour without adding anything to it. I love pairing roasted veggies as a side to a main dish or topped onto my salads like todays recipe. This combination is heavenly and a must try.
Now the first trick to loving kale is to make sure you are massaging it and I do this by drizzling some olive oil, lemon juice and sea salt before giving it a good rub down with my hands for a couple minutes. Youβll notice that the kale just becomes softer and will be so much easier to chew and digest for your tummy.
The second trick to loving kale is topping it with creamy foods like roasted butternut squash and avocado, which will add some creaminess to your greens.
My third tip is to drench it in the most amazing dressing like this maple tahini one that I whipped up which happens to be super healthy for you too! Forget that store bought dressing stuff and make your own.Β I love making kale salads because you can save extras for the next day to have for lunch and it wont go soggy.
The same day Iβm writing this post I actually created another super amazing kale salad recipe for you guys but Iβll probably save it for a few weeks down the road. I donβt want to overload you with kale even though I donβt think thereβs such thing haha the more greens the better!
