- 2 medium delicata squashes
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large bunch of kale, stemmed and chopped
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the delicata squashes in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Cut into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Toss the squash slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast the squash in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until tender and golden brown.
While the squash is roasting, prepare the dressing by whisking together the balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a small bowl.
In a large salad bowl, massage the kale with a small amount of the dressing until it becomes slightly tender.
Add the roasted squash, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and feta cheese to the kale.
Drizzle with the remaining dressing and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
