Prepare the Salad Base

  1. 1

    Prepare Kale

    Wash and dry the kale thoroughly. Remove the tough stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

    Prepare Romaine

    Wash the romaine lettuce, remove any wilted leaves, and chop into bite-sized pieces.

    Roast Delicata Squash

    Slice the delicata squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and roast it in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 25-30 minutes until tender. Once cooled, slice into half-moons.

Assemble the Salad

    Combine Greens

    In a large bowl, combine the torn kale and chopped romaine.

  2. 5

    Add Squash

    Add the roasted delicata squash to the bowl with the greens.

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad mixture and toss until all the leaves are well-coated.

    Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the salad.
