[NEW] Kale Salad With Roasted Winter Squash

The trick to a phenomenal kale salad is all in the massage. That's right: wash your hands well and get right in there. Massaging the simple dressing into the greens helps break up their hydrophobic (water resistant) surface to allow the flavor to penetrate deep while tenderizing the leaves to make a perfect bed for sweet roasted squash.
