Ingredients
- 2 small acorn squash (about 1 pound each)
- 1 cup water
- ¾ cup white quinoa, soaked overnight
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 medium bunch curly kale, de-stemmed and torn into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 mini sweet peppers
- 1 large pear, thinly sliced
- ¾ cup crumbled feta
Dressing:
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup tahini
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon water
- ¾ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a small pot, bring water to a boil. Drain and rinse quinoa. Add to boiling water with salt, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off heat, and steam with lid on for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
- Meanwhile, place kale in a large bowl with olive oil and two generous pinches of salt. Massage kale, squeezing with your hands for about 3 minutes, until kale is bright green, slightly wilted and reduced in volume.
- Using a paring knife, remove stems and seeds from peppers, and slice into thin rounds.
- In a blender, combine all dressing ingredients. Blend 30 seconds until well-combined. Consistency should be thick but pourable.
- Divide kale among bowls, and top with quinoa, pears, feta and peppers. Drizzle with dressing.
