Ingredients

4 servings

1 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and freshly-cracked black pepper
1 cup dry Israeli (pearl) couscous*, cooked in water according to package instructions
2 cups chopped kale leaves
1/3 cup dried cranberries (from DeLallo Salad Savors)
1/3 cup chopped walnuts (from DeLallo Salad Savors)
2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled (from DeLallo Salad Savors)
easy orange vinaigrette (recipe below)
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons DeLallo extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed orange juice
pinch of salt and black pepper, to taste

Steps

Heat oven to 425°F.
In a large mixing bowl, toss cubed butternut squash with olive oil. Sprinkle with a few generous pinches of salt and pepper, and toss until combined.
Spread the butternut squash out in an even layer on a parchment-covered baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and flip the squash for even cooking. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the squash is tender and slightly browned around the edges. Remove from oven and transfer back to the large mixing bowl.
Add couscous, kale, cranberries, walnuts, goat cheese, and vinaigrette, and toss to combine.
Serve warm, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
Whisk all ingredients together until combined. Taste, and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
