Kale and Blue Cheese Salad
45 Minutes
Ingredients
For the salad:
- 2 cups (230g) pumpkin or butternut squash, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 4 cups (270g) curly kale, leaf part only, chopped
- ¼ cup (30g) cranberries, dried
- 2 oz. (60g) blue cheese, crumbled
- ⅓ cup (30g) pecan nuts
- salt & pepper
For the dressing:
- 4 tbsp. Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- salt & pepper
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). In a large bowl, toss the diced pumpkin or squash with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread out the pumpkin onto a large baking tray lined with baking paper, and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and tender. Remove the pumpkin from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl, toss the kale with half of the dressing, ensuring it is well coated. Add the cooled pumpkin, cranberries, crumbled cheese and pecans and gently toss together.
- Transfer the salad into serving bowls and drizzle with the remaining dressing. Season with more salt and pepper, if necessary, and serve immediately.
