​Are you eating tons of salads? I sure hope so. A big, colorful salad topped with a serving of protein is just about as healthy a meal as you will ever find. And, when done right, it’s also one of the tastiest meals!

Eating like this makes it possible to shed body fat while sustaining energy levels and muscle tone. This Curly Endive Salad with Butternut Squash with a big ‘ol serving of protein on top makes a fantastic go-to dinner salad. That is, dinner IS the salad; salad IS the dinner. It’s light and tight and will leave you looking and feeling light and tight :-)

Here’s what you need

For the Butternut Squash
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 2 cups butternut squash, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch of red pepper flakes
  • sea salt
For the Vinaigrette
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice

  • sea salt and pepper to taste
For the Salad
  • 8 cups curly endive, torn
  • 1 avocado, chopped

Once coated, add the butternut squash to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat.
