Fall Harvest Salad with Honey Dijon Dressing

SWEET OR SAVORY?! I am generally a savory salad gal. Ya know, olives, onions, cucumbers… but I have been LIVING for these fall harvest salads lately. 

This salad comes together so easy with all the good-for-you ingredients, is sweet and just the perfect little creation for all those fall vibes!

I made the perfect, lightened up version of honey dijon dressing to go along with it & the dressing is the icing on the cake (salad ) 

Ingredients for Salad: 

• 2 cups sautéed kale 
• 2 TBSP dried cranberries 
• 1 TBSP sunflower seeds 
• 3-4 chopped beets 
• 1/2 cup butternut squash 
• Sprinkle of feta cheese on top 

Ingredients for Dressing: 

• 1/4 cup EVOO 
• 1/4 cup pure honey 
• 1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt 
• 2 TBSP Dijon mustard 
• 1 TBSP apple Cider Vinegar 
• dash of salt and pepper to taste

Directions: 

1. Throw all your kale into a pan with a drop of water and sauté on low until kale appears to be slightly welted. Remove from pan and add to your bowl. 

2. Chop beets and butternut squash & add to your kale mixture. 

3. Top with cranberries, sunflower seeds & sprinkle with feta cheese. 

4. In a jar or large bowl, add all your ingredients for your dressing. If you have a frother or hand mixer, this is best to combine your ingredients. If you do not have either, use a whisk and continue to whisk for several minutes until you have a thick creamy texture & your ingredients are combined. 

5. Pour desired amount of dressing over salad and ENJOY!
