<p>Squash Salad with Kale and Roasted Garlic Dressing - the BEST Thanksgiving salad. Roasted garlicky kale, squash and chickpeas, crisp apple, dabbles of pepitas and dried cherries, and a drizzle of roasted garlic dressing over the top.</p>

Squash Salad with Kale and Roasted Garlic Dressing

butternut squash,

Dakota’s Pride Garbanzo Beans, rinsed and drained

garlic

Simply Nature Organic Chopped Kale

honeycrisp apple, sliced

Southern Grove Pepitas

Southern Grove Dried Cherries

olive oil

lemon

salt (more

sugar

Roast

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place squash and chickpeas on a sheet pan. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt. Place garlic cloves in the center of a small piece of foil. Drizzle with oil and fold it up into a little packet. Place the packet on the sheet pan. Roast everything for 30-40 minutes.

Dressing

Whisk the oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and sugar together. When the sheet pan comes out of the oven, mash up the roasted garlic and add it to the dressing. 

Kale

In a large bowl, drizzle the kale with a little bit of dressing (hello, flavor!). Massage it &#8211; as in, just, like, squeeze it &#8211; until it&#8217;s deep green and the texture has relaxed a little bit. This just makes it more tender and pleasant to eat.

Salad

Place kale in a large salad bowl. Top with squash and chickpeas. Arrange little fanned-out apple slices on the salad (pretty!). Dot the whole thing with pepitas and dried cherries, and finish with the rest of the dressing. Serve warm or cold! IT&#8217;S A BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECE.

The skin of a butternut is really thin and you can actually eat it! Try roasting it with the skin on. You might be pleasantly surprised. I agree though with the other commenter that’s the Kuhn Rikon peeler makes easy work of the job. It’s the #1 peeler of professional chefs (I’m one) and we all have one in our kits.

Definitely want to make this for family thanksgiving! I’m not sure about the squash but I love sweet potatoes. Would that be a good substitute?

I just made this today. I used maple syrup instead of sugar and it was delicious. Agave syrup would probably work just as well. 

Eating it now as I type, btw. SO good!

Just served this. So good, so pretty and everyone loved it.

It looks really great. I want to do this. Thanks.

I made this last night for a group of avowed carnivores and everyone had seconds. It is so beautiful on the platter and equally delicious. Great combination of flavors and textures. Can’t recommend it enough. Thanks for an incredible recipe!!

I made this tonight and it was delicious! I made sure to get actual dried cherries instead of subbing with craisins and they were a very Gucci touch that just made this whole thing even better! Thanks!

Absolutely delicious!!  I followed the recipe exactly and it was perfect!  Thank you!

This salad is excellent! I am back to make it a second time for Thanksgiving. I did add goat cheese the first time and it was great!

This Brussels sprout salad is full of flavor and texture and is the perfect fall and winter side dish. Made with shredded Brussels sprouts, chopped kale, cranberries, pomegranate arils, toasted pecans, walnuts and pumpkin seeds tossed in a sweet and tangy Dijon vinaigrette.

Brussels Sprouts Salad

avocado oil olive oil

lemon juice

apple cider vinegar

tsp onion salt

fine sea salt + black pepper (, to taste)

Brussels sprouts

kale (, washed & dried)

red cabbage

grape tomatoes (,

pecans

almonds

pumpkin seeds / pepitas

pomegranate arils

yeast (,

Add the dressing ingredients to a bowl or a jar. Whisk or shake until combined. Taste and adjust seasonings.

Make the dressing:

Add all the salad ingredients to a large bowl. Pour in dressing and toss until well-coated and combined. Store in fridge for at least 15 minutes before serving. This helps build flavor and soften the Brussels sprouts. Top with more nuts, seeds &amp; nutritional yeast, if desired.

For the salad:

Crisp apples, toasty walnuts and creamy feta or blue cheese make this apple walnut salad ideal for holidays and parties. Simple and beautiful!

Apple Walnut Salad

walnut halves

apples apple

baby arugula

Belgian endives* (about 6 ounces)

cranberries raisins

gorgonzola** (goat cheese,

shallot (very finely chopped)

red wine vinegar

cinnamon

Bake

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the walnuts into a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the nuts smell fragrant and toasty and they are crisp. Immediately transfer to a cutting board to cool. Roughly chop.

Whisk

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients: shallot, olive oil, red wine vinegar, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Add the apple and toss to coat.

In a large serving bowl, place the arugula. Thinly cut the endive crosswise into very thin rounds (you&#039;ll have 3 cups or so). Add them to the bowl.

Add half each of the cranberries, cheese, and walnuts.

Toss

With a spoon, scoop the apple slices into the salad (some of the dressing and shallots will cling to the apples; some will be left behind in the bowl). Add a few more spoonfuls of the dressing to the salad to moisten it, then toss to coat. If the salad seems dry at this point, continue to spoon on small amounts of the dressing, tossing after each, until it’s moist but not sopping (it’s easy to overdress salad!).

Sprinkle

Sprinkle the remaining cranberries, cheese, and walnuts over the salad, then very lightly toss once more. Taste and add a bit of additional salt if desired (the amount you need will vary based on your cheese; with gorgonzola, our salad was just right). Enjoy immediately, with any remaining dressing on the side for serving as desired.

This bacon and brussel sprout salad is so good! Thinly sliced brussel sprouts, crumbled bacon, Parmesan, almonds, and shallot citrus dressing.

Bacon and Brussel Sprout Salad

orange

shallot,

salt and pepper

bacon,

brussel sprouts

Pecorino-Romano cheese

Squeeze the juice of the lemon and orange into a large bowl with the shallots. Pour the oil into the bowl in a steady stream, whisking to form an emulsion (it should appear more creamy and less transparent). Season generously with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Using a mandoline, shave the brussel sprouts (not including the stems) into thin slices to make a shredded/slaw texture. I rinsed and dried mine again after shaving them just to be sure they were totally clean.

Place the almonds in a food processor and pulse until chopped coarsely. Add 3/4 of the almonds, cheese, and bacon to the shredded brussel sprouts; toss to combine. When ready to serve, toss with the dressing and sprinkle remaining almonds, cheese, and bacon over the top. If needed, add a few more tablespoons of olive oil and toss.

Mandolin glove owner as well.  Should have purchased at the same time - would have save many many cuts!!

Hi, I used to use the mandolin but now use the food processor and it's done in seconds - not the 90 minutes it used to take me. 
Be careful.

I live in a deprived small town with no Trader Joe’s! Walmart also carries shaved BS’s!!

Brussels sprouts are one of my favorites and with bacon, even better!

We eat brussel sprouts at least twice a week in our house. Roasted in the oven with a little olive oil , salt and pepper....Yum!

This is the perfect salad for serving up for Thanksgiving dinner! It's an easy-to-make salad with tons of flavors and textures to perfectly accompany anything you serve up for dinner.
