Number Of Ingredients 13

1 delicata squash - halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 3/4-inch slices
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 ½ pounds lacinato kale, ribs discarded and leaves cut into thin strips

2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
salt and pepper to taste
1 apple, cored and sliced
