Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium delicata squashes (about 2 pounds), halved lengthwise and seeded
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 bunch kale (5 ounces), large stems removed, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 can (15 ounces) cranberry or cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut squashes into 1/2-inch-thick semicircles. Toss with 1 teaspoon oil, and spread onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until just tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Mix together balsamic vinegar and honey. Brush some of the mixture onto squash slices; reserve remaining mixture. Bake for 5 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, place kale in a large bowl. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic, and cook until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Add red-wine vinegar and remaining vinegar-honey mixture to saucepan, and bring to a boil. Immediately pour hot dressing over kale, and sprinkle with salt. Season with pepper. Add squash and beans. Cover with plastic, and let stand for 5 minutes. Toss until kale wilts slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I tried this recipe and it was way too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less chili powder.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. The dressing didn't have much flavor and the squash was undercooked.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The roasted squash is sweet and savory, the kale is bitter and earthy, and the cranberry beans add a nice pop of sweetness. The dressing is also very flavorful.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a hit with my family! The squash was roasted perfectly and the kale and cranberry beans added a nice touch. The dressing was also very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again!
