Roasted Kale Butternut Squash and Pepitas make for the ultimate healthy salad recipe and the perfect low-carb lunch.

 

I enjoy this simple roasted salad as a side dish. As well, you can drizzle it with a Basic Vinaigrette dressing for a little more flavor. (For the vinaigrette recipe below, it can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.)

There are variations to the recipe.

  1. First, you can replace the butternut squash with sweet potatoes or acorn squash.
  2. Also, you can add dried cranberries.
  3. Furthermore, you can use sunflower seeds, almonds, or pecans instead of (or in addition to) the pepitas.
  4. As well, you can add blue cheese, goat cheese, or feta cheese.

  • Kale. Kale is great for weight loss, rich in antioxidants, high in vitamin K, C, and A. It is also great for lowering cholesterol!
  • Butternut squash. It can help boost the immune system and help to fight inflammation. It can help prevent certain types of cancers. Squash can also help to keep your bones healthy, reduce fatigue, and aid in weight loss.
  • Pepitas. They’re also a low-calorie snack with 15 grams of heart-healthy fats and 9 grams of protein. As well, Pepitas are filled with beneficial vitamins and minerals, like iron, zinc, manganese, phosphorous, and magnesium.
