Kale Salad!


I've seen these really beautiful kale salad posts on SmittenKitchen and 101Cookbooks, but my version is sort of a hack's salad with lots of whatever in it (like a regular salad). This one has wild rice with roasted butternut squash, dried cherries, feta, almonds, and raisins. The wild rice-squash mixture is actually a pilaf I made, so it has onions in there too... but I've had this for lunch now two days in a row, and with a slice of German seeded rye bread, it's superb.

Did you do the whole 'massage the raw kale with dressing' thing, or is it steamed?

I'm sort of intrigued by the raw kale technique, but R is not the biggest fan of kale so I've never tried it.

I love it when leftovers come together in unexpected ways. Nice job! Butternut squash and dried cherries and wild rice, mmm.
