ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SALAD AND KALE SUMMER ROLLS WITH FETA CHEESE AND AVOCADO GREEN GODDESS DRESSING

Time 1h10m
Yield 8 servings

Steps:
- For the squash: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the squash in a mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with the chile flakes and a good amount of salt. Place on a parchment-lined baking tray and roast until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove and refrigerate until needed.
- For the dressing: Combine the anchovies, avocado, garlic, parsley, scallions, cilantro and 1/8 cup water in food processor or blender and puree. Add the mayo, chile juice, lemon juice and salt and puree again until combined. This can be done the day before.
- For the kale salad: Place the kale into a mixing bowl with 2 tablespoons of the dressing and squeeze lightly with your hands to soften the tough leaves. Add the arugula, feta, half the pumpkin seeds and half the pomegranate seeds and taste for seasoning, adding salt if needed.
- To serve: Fill a mixing bowl with warm water and soak 1 piece of rice paper until pliable, but not entirely soft (10 to 15 seconds). Lay it flat on a clean work surface, ensuring that it sticks to the surface. Continue until you have 4 to 6 wrappers stuck to the surface.
- Place a strip of roasted butternut squash across each wrapper, 2 inches from the bottom of each wrapper. On top of the strips, lay some of the dressed kale salad, using your hands to form a log-shaped pile. Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper up and the sides in against the filling. Roll up to the top edge, pulling back to tighten the roll as you make them (this is the reason you want the wrapper actually stuck to the surface, it will allow you to get more tension while rolling). Place a damp towel over the rolls (this will keep them moist and soft) and repeat until you have 16 rolls made. These can be assembled up to 1 hour before the guests arrive.
- Slice the rolls into 3 to 4 pieces so that they look like sushi and arrange on a serving platter. Sprinkle with the remaining pumpkin seeds and pomegranate seeds and serve with a ramekin of the avocado green goddess dressing as a dipping sauce.

PAM'S CREAMY CUCUMBER AND SUMMER SQUASH SALAD
I was asked to post this after I mentioned it in a comment. It is one of my favorite creamy summer salads and really depends on what I have growing and available in my garden. It is more assembling than cooking so I will give you a list of ingredients and you take it from there. :)

Steps:
- 1. Wash, peel (if desired, I usually leave the skins on) de-seed (If necessary) and chop veggies. Place in large bowl. Slice onions thinly. Peel and prepare jicama (or drain and chop water chestnuts) Add to bowl.
- 2. In a smaller bowl, mix all dressing ingredients well. Use up to 1/2 c. each of mayo and sour cream as a base depending on how many veggies you are using. Adjust other seasonings to your taste for full size recipe. Approx 1/4 c vinegar, 2-3 Tbsp sweetener,thyme and garlic powder as directed, mustard to taste (I use honey mustard 1-3 Tbsp). Mix again and pour over veggies, stir and refrigerate until served.
- 3. As I said, this is more "Food assembly" than actual cooking, so try your own mixture. You can add peas, carrots, green beans, radishes, or whatever you like. Change to parsley and basil, or tarragon, or lemon thyme, etc. Have fun and enjoy!
