Autumn Wild Rice with Butternut Squash & Kale

This recipe is a delicious addition to your Thanksgiving table, and a welcomed riff off of the traditional ultra-rich dishes. Wild rice, squash, berries, and greens were all present at the first Thanksgiving celebration in 1621, making this recipe an excellent way to celebrate the season. 

Wild rice is rich in protein and fiber, and contains zinc, magnesium, and B vitamins. These vitamins are known to boost your immune system and lower stress- ideal for the holiday season! Butternut squash boasts high levels of vitamin A which aids in eye and skin health, and kale contains calcium and iron, boosting bone health. You can prepare this dish the day before and reheat in a low oven, or even serve it at room temperature.
