  2. While the squash is roasting, wash and chop the kale. Drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Massage for 2-3 minutes until softer.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together tahini, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil. Gradually add warm water to reach desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. In individual serving bowls, divide cooked quinoa, then top with roasted squash, massaged kale, and diced apples. Sprinkle dried cranberries and nuts/seeds.
  5. Drizzle the creamy maple-tahini dressing over each bowl. Toss gently to combine and serve warm or chilled.
