Instructions
Salad Directions
Pre-heat oven to 400F.
Place cubed butternut squash onto a parchment lined cookie sheet, drizzle with coconut oil, salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 30 min (tossing half way through) until golden brown and fork tender. Once cooked, set aside to cool for 15-20 min.
In a large bowl, throw in your washed and dried de-stemmed kale and massage with olive oil, lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt for about 1 minute.
Add cucumber, celery, green onion, cilantro and avocado to the kale and mix.
Add cooled roasted butternut squash and drizzle (soak) with the maple tahini dressing and toss well.
Dressing Directions
Simply blend all the ingredients into a high-speed blender until smooth. You can store this dressing in the fridge for 3-5 days.
Notes
Optional: You can sprinkle some sprouts and pumpkin seeds for some extra crunch and protein.
