Ingredients:

Serving

1 butternut squash, cubed in 1/2 inch pieces , about 1 1/2 - 2 cups
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp brown sugar or honey
1/3 tsp ground black pepper
1 lb kale, thinly sliced , i prefer black kale , or enough to balance the salad
1/2 english cucumber , julienned
1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup red bell pepper , julienned
2 tsp low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp honey or to taste
2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
2 tsp fresh grated ginger
1 tbsp water
toasted sunflower seeds , optional

Directions:

Preheat oven to 500 degrees
Toss squash cubes with brown sugar or honey (can use maple syrup), & pepper in a baking pan and bake for about 20 minutes or until tender and browned. Remove from oven and cool.
When squash is cool, toss with kale, cucumber, red onion & red bell pepper.
Whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, sugar (or honey, or maple syrup), peanut butter, ginger and water. This makes a thick dressing which I usually make thiner with some more water...just tweak it with more lime juice, soy sauce or water to taste. Drizzle over salad and toss to serve. I like to add some toasted sunflower seeds as well which compliment the texture and flavour.
It makes lots, so for myself for a big lunch salad, I make the same amount of dressing to have on hand and just reduce the salad ingredients to an amount that looks like a good balance. It is easy to play with the ingredients.
