Preparation
STEP 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Place diced butternut squash on a parchment-lined sheet pan and toss with a bit of oil, salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes or until tender. Set aside to cool.

STEP 2

Prep your grated vegetables using the large hole of a box grater. In a large bowl add cooked and cooled squash, kale, carrot, turnip, parsnip, beet and onion. Toss to combine.

STEP 3

In a smaller bowl, combine the sesame oil, sugar, vinegar, ginger, soy sauce, orange zest and juice, and lemon juice. Slowly whisk in oil. Season to taste with cayenne, salt and pepper.

STEP 4

Drizzle dressing over salad, toss to coat. Chill for one hour before serving.
