Butternut squash:

Salad base:

• Whilst the squash cooks, place the kale into a large bowl, add the olive oil, squeeze of lemon and a pinch of salt and pepper. Massage this into the kale for around 2-3 minutes, until softened.

Dressing:

• To make the dressing, add olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, ½ an avocado, grated garlic and a splash of water to your food blender.

• Blend until combined. If the dressing is a little thick, add a splash more water to your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.  

Build your bowl:

• To build your salad, place the massaged kale into your serving bowl.

• Chop up your remaining ½ avocado and scatter on top.

• Rinse your white beans, then scatter these on top, too. We love to use Bold Bean Co.’s organic white beans for ultimate flavour!
