Chopped Kale Salad with Butternut Squash & Chickpeas

Yield: 4 as a meal or 8 as a side

Ingredients

For the Salad

• 1 large bunch of kale 

• 4 cups of any other green lettuce (chopped spinach, broccoli slaw, more kale)

• 2-3 cups large diced butternut squash

• 1 15 ounce can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed

• 1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

• 1 tablespoon curry powder

• ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper

• Kosher salt

• ½ cup toasted pecan

• OPTIONAL: Chopped chicken or other protein, pomegranate

For the Dressing

• 2 tablespoons tahini

• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

• 1 teaspoon honey

• ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

1. Prep kale by cutting out the tough ribs of the kale and discard. Chop kale and add to a large bowl.  

2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Add the diced butternut squash and rinsed chickpeas to a baking sheet lined with foil. Drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil, curry powder and cayenne. Mix until the squash and chickpeas are well coated. Sprinkle with kosher salt and bake for 20-25 minutes or until squash is tender and chickpeas are lightly browned.

3. Meanwhile add the dressing ingredients to a small mason jar. Shake to mix and taste for more seasoning or vinegar if desired.

4. Transfer the butternut squash and chickpeas to the bowl of kale. Add the pecans and drizzle with the tahini dressing. Toss to coat. Allow to rest for 10 to 30 minutes before serving so kale softens. Add chicken or other protein! Enjoy!

Two favorite truths to encourage you to give your best and never give up! 

James 1:2-4  “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”

James 1:12  “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.”
