Instructions

For the Dressing

Combine all ingredients except olive oil in a jar and shake well. Then add in olive oil and shake again to combine.

For the Squash

Trim off ends of squash and slice in half lengthwise, scooping out the seeds.
Flat side down, cut each half into about 8 half moons (1/2 inch thick).
Toss squash with rest of ingredients then lay flat on a sheet tray.
Roast at 450 for 15 minutes, flip each piece over, then roast another 15 minutes.
(You may not need all of this squash for the salad.)

For the Salad

Wash and slice the kale into ribbons, not using the hard stems. Toss kale with a drizzle of olive oil, and massage well to soften. Do not skip this step!
Combine massaged kale with mixed greens and shredded Brussels in the bottom of a large shallow bowl.
Start layering on all other components.
Serve with dressing on the side.
