Hands On Time: 18 Minutes
Total Time: 50 Minutes
This hearty salad is brimming with the flavors of fall with ingredients such as pumpkin seeds, Brussels sprouts, cranberries, and dark, leafy greens. The salad here is tossed with baby kale, which is much more tender and easier to eat uncooked, which makes it a perfect green to use for a salad like this. The kale delivers a nice and hearty texture while the marvelous toppings here elevate this salad to some gloriously good autumn territory.

1 1/2 pounds 3/4-inch cubes butternut squash (about 4 cups)

1 tablespoon whole grain Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
