Instructions
To prepare the roasted vegetables:
Preheat the oven to 425 F and line a baking tray with parchment paper (you may need two trays).
Cut the ends off of the beets and scrub each beet well. Dice the beets into small pieces.
Add the butternut squash, brussels sprouts, beets, red onion and carrots to a large mixing bowl.
Add 2 tbsps olive oil, salt and pepper to the vegetables and mix well.
Spread the vegetables and squash evenly on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes or until tender.
To prepare the salad:
Put the kale in a medium mixing bowl. Add 2 tbsps olive oil and massage with your hands for two minutes to create tender kale.
Add the kale to a large salad bowl. Add in the spinach, apple, pecans, dried cranberries, pomegranate arils and goat cheese.
Once the roasted vegetables are done roasting let them cool and then add them to the salad.
Blend all the salad dressing ingredients together until smooth. Drizzle the tahini dressing over the salad and gently toss.
