Autumn Caesar Salad

0 Roast the delicata squash. Preheat oven to 425. Toss the delicata squash with olive oil and some salt. Spread on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from oven.
1 Make the dressing. Measure out all the ingredients and place them in a quart-size mason jar, blender cup, or high-sided bowl. Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth. Alternatively, you can throw all of the ingredients into a high speed blender and blend until smooth. Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings, as needed.
2 Assemble the salads. Add massaged kale to a large bowl. Toss with a little bit of the dressing, just until it's lightly coated. Add squash, apple, dates, and nuts/seeds. Toss the salad again to combine. Drizzle with more dressing.
3 Enjoy! Serve the salad into a bowl and enjoy with protein of choice!
