Kale Salad with Roasted Delicata Squash and Pearl Barley
Truth be told, I’m more of a spinach-kinda-girl than a kale-kinda-girl. I know kale is a superfood and what-not, but I find I just tend to gravitate to spinach… And I’m not entirely sure why. I think I’m just a habitual person. Every week I grab a 16 oz tub of organic spinach and another one that’s a spinach blend of some sort…
