Salad:
- 1 box checked kale or mixed greens
- 2 medium cooked beets, diced
- ½ cup roasted butternut squash cubes may sub for roasted pumpkin or any other gourd
- ⅓ cup pomegranate seeds
- 1 medium apple, thinly sliced
Roasted Pepitas
- ½ cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

Silan & Tahini dressing

Preheat oven to 425 F. Toss the pepitas together with the seasonings in a small bowl. Spread on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes. Watch them carefully so that they don't burn.
While the seeds are roasting, whisk the dressing ingredients together.
Remove the pepitas from the oven and set aside to cool. Toss the dressing with the kale and remaining ingredients. Add in the cooled pepitas and serve.
