The trick to a phenomenal kale salad is all in the massage. That’s right: wash your hands well and get right in there. Massaging the simple dressing into the greens helps break up their hydrophobic (water resistant) surface to allow the flavor to penetrate deep while tenderizing the leaves to make a perfect bed for sweet roasted squash.
Ingredients
Dressing:
- 1 tsp. sherry vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- ½ tsp. salt
Salad:
- 1 lb. butternut squash, peeled and cubed
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2½ tsp. minced garlic
- ½ tsp. minced fresh thyme
- 1 lb. kale, stemmed and chopped
- 1 oz. grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- ¼ cup chopped toasted walnuts
Directions
- Whisk together dressing ingredients and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- Toss squash with oil, garlic, and thyme. Arrange in a single-layer on a foil-lined baking sheet and roast until tender, stirring once or twice (20-25 minutes). Let cool for a few minutes.
- While squash cools, massage kale with dressing until well-coated. Top kale with squash, cheese, and nuts to serve.
