Kale, Pear & Squash Salad with Tomato & Smoked Paprika Dressing

A great way to use Kale!

45 Minutes

Serves 4

What you'll need…

1 Bunch Kale
2 Pears
1 Squash (Crown prince or butternut)
50g Tomato pureé
1 Teaspoon cumin seeds
3 Crushed garlic cloves
2 Teaspoons smoked paprika
50ml Olive oil
1 Lemon juiced
Salt to taste

The method

Remove seeds from both the Pear and the Squash and cut into wedges. Put on a baking tray toss in a little oil and cook on 200°C for 25 mins or until just about soft enough to bite.

Meanwhile pick the leaves from the Kale making sure to remove from the soft stems. Once the Pear and Squash has cooled for 10 mins toss together kale.

To make the dressing warm all ingredients except purée and lemon in a pan slowly until the spices are toasted then mix together with the rest and leave to one side.

Drizzle the dressing and toss everything together. This is best served warm but also great the next day as a lunchbox salad .
