Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Roast the Squash and Apples

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cube the butternut squash, and core and slice the apples. Toss both in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes or until tender, stirring halfway through.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the baby kale, roasted squash, and apples. Drizzle with maple-apple vinaigrette and toss gently. Top with pomegranate seeds, crumbled feta, and candied pecans before serving.
