Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the diced butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 16 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
- Rinse and drain the quinoa. In a small saucepan, combine with 1 cup (240 ml) of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until fluffy and the water is absorbed. Set aside to cool.
- Whisk all the vinaigrette ingredients in a small bowl, or shake in a jar with a tight lid. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Place the chopped kale in a large mixing bowl. Add half of the vinaigrette and massage with your hands for about 30 seconds, until the leaves soften.
- Add the cooled quinoa, roasted squash, and chopped apples to the kale. Toss to combine. Divide between 3 plates. Top with pecans, pumpkin seeds, cranberries, and feta. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette just before serving.
