As mentioned in my previous post, Quinoa Salad with Kabocha and Roasted garlic, I only used half of the orange kabocha squash I purchased during the past weekend. The other half was used for this healthy and tasty Kabocha Kale Salad with Miso Butter Sauce. I actually bought a bunch of vegetables for salad and this dinosaur (lacinato) kale was one of them. I figured the different tastes and textures of the two would be wonderful in a salad, not to mention the striking contrast of colors.

To tie them together, I decided on an umami miso butter sauce. The reason it is called a sauce and not a dressing is because it has to be served warm because of the butter. If you have not yet tried miso butter, you are missing out. It is different and quite delicious. The first time I tried it was in this Pan Fried Miso Butter Pumpkin and absolutely loved it. Trust me, miso butter is good with all kinds of vegetables and seafood. You have to taste it at least once.

For crunch, I added some ready toasted and salted pumpkin seeds from the health food store. I have to say I am really pleased at how this Kabocha Kale Salad with Miso Butter Sauce turned out. It was warm, tasty, and satisfying. I ate it as a light lunch.
