@kalejunkie SHEET PAN WARM KALE SALAD with sausage and creamy maple-dijon vinaigrette! If you’ve never had a warm salad before, you are in for a real treat—the veggies are roasted for lots of flavor and become so tender and soft (no hard kale!). This one has all the fall vibes thanks to the addition of italian sausage and roasted butternut squash. It’s topped with crushed pistachios and feta cheese because feta is my personal favorite and guess who eats all the food I cook? ME. This is the perfect salad to add to your Thanksgiving menus this year, be sure to tag me if you make it so I can repost!
