Roasted Zuccuri and Kale Salad with Chickpeas and Tahini Yogurt

Roasted Zuccuri and Kale Salad with Chickpeas and Tahini Yogurt

This hearty, delicious Roasted Zuccuri and Kale Salad with Chickpeas and Tahini Yogurt is inspired by the flavors of North Africa. Zucurri is one of our favorite vegetables of all Japanese produce. It is a type of kabocha squash that is similar to a chestnut in sweetness and has a cake like texture. Kale and roasted squash pair perfectly with the warming spices of this dish.

This roasted kabocha recipe somehow conveys the flavor of a crisp fall day and our winter salad is the perfect fall recipe. To serve, Chef Toni Sakaguchi from The Culinary Institute of America smears the Tahini Yogurt on a platter and places the roasted zuccuri and kale salad on top.
