Autumn Kale Salad from Fiber Fueled Cookbook

 

Autumn Kale Salad🍁
🌱 7 Plant Points
🌱 Low Histamine
🌱 Pg. 151 - The Fiber Fueled Cookbook

Ingredients
・4 cups cubed butternut squash
・2 teaspoons olive oil or Low-Histamine Biome Broth
・½ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
・Pinch ground pink peppercorn
・½ teaspoon ground cumin
・½ teaspoon sweet paprika
・½ teaspoon garlic powder
・¼ cup pomegranate juice
・2 garlic cloves, minced
・¼ teaspoon mustard powder
・¼ cup tahini
・4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
・8 cups Tuscan or lacinato kale, stems removed and sliced into thin ribbons
・¼ cup pepitas
・2 Honeycrisp (or other sweet) apples, diced
・1/3 cup pomegranate seeds


Steps
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the squash on the baking sheet and toss with the olive oil, salt, pink pepper, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss well. Cover with an upside-down baking tray or lightly tent with foil and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until the squash is tender. Remove the cover the last 5 minutes of cooking to lightly caramelize the squash.

While the squash is roasting, make the dressing.

Whisk together the pomegranate juice, garlic, mustard powder, tahini, and vinegar. Season to taste, adding in salt and pink pepper as desired.

Place the kale in a large bowl and drizzle 1 to 2 teaspoons of the dressing, then use your hands to massage it into the kale for a few minutes. This helps to tenderize the kale.

Add in the cooked squash, pepitas, apple, and pomegranate seeds. Toss to combine, then divide onto serving plates. Drizzle with the remaining dressing.
