Ingredients

  • 11 servings carrots shredded
  • 11 servings roasted delicata squash 
  • 0.3 teaspoon grain sea salt to taste fine
  • clove garlic peeled
  • 11 servings hemp seeds hulled for garnish
  • tablespoons juice of lemon fresh
  • 11 servings lettuce 
  • tablespoons nutritional yeast 
  • 11 servings petita/pumpkin seeds for garnish
  • 11 servings tomatoes

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • baking paper
  • oven
  • blender

Directions

  1. Add all dressing ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend on high until smooth. Adjust salt to taste. The dressing will appear thin at first, but it thickens up after being chilled in the fridge.For roasting the squash: Preheat oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. There is no need to peel the skin off the squash, as it's thin and edible. Slice the stem off the squash and then slice in half, lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and discard (or clean and roast for the salad). Slice each half into small, 1/2-inch half-moons.
  2. Add a generous amount of lettuce into a large bowl or platter. Top with squash, shredded carrot, tomato, pepita seeds, hulled hemp seeds, and the dressing.Dressing will keep in an air-tight container in the fridge for at least a week, probably longer.
