1 tablespoon olive oil

https://amzn.to/2TaTsz0
¼
heaping teaspoon turmeric
¼ teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup (60 ml) apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 shallot, minced
1 bunch of kale (about ¾ pound/340 g), stems and center ribs removed
and leaves cut cross-wise into slivers
1 pint (300 g) Brussels sprouts, cut crosswise into slivers
Handful (about 1 oz.) of toasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas) or
sunflower seeds
1 avocado, pitted, peeled and diced
Here's How You Do It
Prep 20 m Ready In 50 m
* Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C), with a rack in the middle
position.
* Drizzle squash with the olive oil, turmeric, cumin, and season
with salt and pepper to taste and lay the squash out evenly across
an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan.
*Roast until lightly browned on the bottom, about 15 minutes, then
scrape under the pieces using a metal spatula angled down toward the
bottom of the pan and toss them around, spreading them out again. If
the pieces stick to the pan, resist the urge to force them up—you'll
likely end up with a pan full of mangled squash; instead, simply
cook them for another 5 minutes or so, then try again. After tossing
the squash, cook until just tender with slightly caramelized edges,
about 10 minutes more. Let cool for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the grapeseed oil,
vinegar, yogurt, maple syrup and shallots, then season with salt and
pepper. (Or, in a jar with a lid, combine the ingredients, cover,
then shake vigorously.) Check the seasonings. Quickly dip a piece of
kale in the dressing, shake off any excess, and check the seasonings
again.
In a large bowl, combine the kale, Brussels sprouts, roasted squash
and pumpkin seeds. Drizzle the salad with enough dressing to lightly
coat, then toss to combine. (Save any extra dressing for another
use.) Check the seasonings. Add the avocado and gently toss again.
Make-Ahead Tip:
Keep the undressed salad and dressing, covered, in the refrigerator
for up to 3 days.
Tip: For Staggered Serving: The salad can sit, undressed and
covered, for up to 2 hours at room temperature. Toss with the
dressing and avocado, which should be cut just before serving, as
needed.
Lastly - Eat and enjoy and thank yourself for a job well done.
