I love the colors and tanginess of citrus season! In this kale salad with citrus and butternut squash, I use two types of oranges for flavor and color. Cara Cara oranges have a pinkish-red flesh and are mildly sweet. If you can find them, they work perfectly here. If you can’t get them at your store, use the freshest, in-season oranges you can find. Roasted butternut squash adds sweetness and a hint of spice to the bold kale and tangy citrus, balancing the flavors in this fresh, light salad.
