In a separate large bowl, combine the kale with the cannellini beans, red onion,  parsley and basil.

While the squash is roasting, whisk together all the dressing ingredients until frothy. Set aside.

Pour some of the dressing over the kale mixture and toss until well coated.

When the squash is cooled a bit, place the kale mixture on each piece evenly, drizzle a little more dressing over the top and sprinkle with goats’ cheese.
