Thank you for your channel! Made this salad the other night, was a hit! Came across your content after randomly stumbling on the video about seasoning baking sheets. You're a great host!
Oops! The recipe’s so great; can’t wait when soft kind of kale is sold in my country… luckily we do have honey crisp apples and butternut squash. Thank you, Helen, I will try to replace the kale with something worthy))
Hello Helen – I wonder if I might ask you a question unrelated to this particular recipe? I hope that's OK. I couldn't find a video about rice – where my question might have been more appropriate. I do not struggle with preparing rice – my grains always come out fluffy and separated when cooked in the normal way. However, whenever a recipe calls for making rice with stock – the rice becomes wet and clumpy. I imagine this is to do with the fact that the liquid is thicker and not as easily absorbed by the rice. I have tried thinning the stock with water to make it more absorbable – but that defeats the purpose of flavoring the rice. Yesterday, I spent an entire afternoon making a chicken kabsa, which called for using the spiced chicken stock to cook the rice and, although flavorful, my rice was stuck together and mushy. I'm stumped. Please would you have any suggestions I might try?
Helen, is putting the butternut squash on the bottom rack to put it closer to the heat or farther away? Ovens are different…my gas oven heats from the bottom, but some heat from the top. Knowing your goal will help me know where to position the tray.
Looks delicious Helen! I can't get kale at all where I am in Belgium so I'll be trying it with spinach instead. I recently got my hands on Cavalo Nero seeds so next year there will be some in my garden. 👍
What!? Helen has online cooking classes?! Like I think if you dig all the way down from Boston you might get to South Africa so I don’t have high hopes of making it to an in-person class
I grow kale for market and thus kale is a staple in my diet and makes the best salads in my mind. To get the best flavour is a bit seasonal thing. Kale that goes through a frost, thus over wintered, has the sweetest leaves. Going through a frost causes more sugars to be released into the leaves. If you buy in spring chances are you will get a sweeter kale as it has been through a winter. Kale from the fall is grown through the summer and is less sweet and more taxed by the heat and you can taste it. If you grow your own know it is very hardy; just mulch them and harvest come early spring and the taste is wonderful.
So good for you! A friend served me a warm dish of sauteed butternut squash, apples and cranberries – it was do wonderful! Adding the kale would be outstanding and colorful.
Dear Helen!
Can not remember in which video you went through how to make salsa verde from Tomatillos.
If you could help me… :))

Helen, you're killing it. Thank you for your hard work. <3
Kale is not readily available where I live so I substituted a nice salad mix with great result.
here is another great recipe video – https://youtu.be/sC3u65cfmcE

Thank you..you wonderful
Great looking dish and an excellent model for other variations. As always, thanks, for your knowledge.
This looks SO delicious! 😍
Was so excited to see you on Chronicle tonight on their anniversary special!

We made this for our dinner last night and it was really excellent! Another excellent recipe. Thank you so very much!
3-4 tablespoons of shallots? That's at least half a cup!!
Thanks for this.

Helen, Thank you.
I dont usually eat veg but this looks tasty
I use my silicone baking sheet liners to supply nonslip surfaces. Easier to clean and I use thing less in my overcrowded kitchen.
Amazing combination of flavors!
5-star awesome salad. I sprinkled with pomegranate seeds to make it even prettier.
Mmmm this sounds incredible
For a thicker, tougher kale, can you blanch it and add?

I enjoy blanching kale for 30 seconds to cut the raw flavor and make it more tender!
I am in love with you're voice ❤️
