Nourish Your Body with Roasted Squash & Lentil Kale Salad
Looking for a vibrant, nourishing dish that’s both delicious and packed with health benefits? Our Roasted Squash & Lentil Kale Salad delivers a powerhouse of nutrients while delighting your taste buds with every bite. This fiber-rich meal is designed to support your gut health while keeping you satisfied and energized.
Why This Salad Stands Out
This squash and lentil salad packs an impressive 14 grams of fiber, making it a superstar choice for digestive wellness. The combination of kale, a powerful prebiotic green, and fiber-packed lentils helps nourish the good bacteria in your gut—an essential step for better digestion and a stronger immune system.
Not only is this salad incredibly healthy, but it’s also ideal for meal prep! Assemble it in a Mason jar the night before for a grab-and-go lunch that's as convenient as it is delicious.

How to Make This Salad
Roast the Squash: Toss cubed butternut squash with spices and olive oil, then roast until tender.
Prepare the Dressing: Mix finely chopped Medjool date with cider vinegar, olive oil, and warm water for a tangy, slightly sweet dressing.
Massage the Kale: Gently massage the kale with a bit of dressing to soften the leaves and enhance the flavors.
Assemble: Layer the kale with lentils, roasted squash, cranberries, pepitas, and feta. Drizzle with the remaining dressing.
