Kale Salad with Ricotta Salata & Fried Scallions
Ingredients (serves 4–6)
- 2 bunches of Lacinato kale, de-stemmed
- 2 bunches of green onions/scallions
- 1 fennel bulb
- 1/4 c Castelvetrano olives, pitted & chopped
- 1/4 c toasted nuts: pine nuts, almonds or hazelnuts
- 1/2 c extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 c champagne vinegar
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp raw honey
- 1 large garlic clove
- Flaky salt & freshly cracked pepper to taste
Method
Make the dressing: chop the white parts of the scallions on the bias. Heat the olive oil in a small pan and fry the scallions until golden brown, be careful not to burn. Remove from the heat, and strain out the scallions, reserving the oil. Place the fried scallions on a paper towel to dry out. In a small bowl, whisk together the champagne vinegar, honey, sea salt and microplane the garlic into the mixture. Slowly whisk in the scallion oil. Set aside.
Rinse and de-stem the kale, chop into fine ribbons and place into a large salad bowl. Shave the fennel bulb into the salad. Add the chopped olives.
Toast the nuts with a touch of olive oil and sea salt.
Toss the salad with the dressing and garnish with shaved ricotta salata cheese, toasted nuts and fried scallions.
Brown Butter & Sage Squash with Pistachio Dukkah
Ingredients (serves 4–6)
- 3 lbs honey nut or delicata squash
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4-6 fresh sage leaves
- Flaky sea salt & freshly cracked pepper to taste
- 1/2 pistachio dukkah for garnish
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Pistachio dukkah:
- 3 tbsp coriander seeds
- 1 tbsp Evermill cumin
- 1/2 c shelled pistachio nuts
- 1/4 c sesame seeds
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper.
Method
Preheat oven to 425º
Slice the squash into rounds or lengthwise and de-seed the squash. Place on a sheet pan and toss with olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for 30–40 minutes. Remove from the oven and arrange onto a serving platter
Make the dukkah: toast the coriander seeds in a skillet. Once fragrant, remove from the skillet and place into a mortar & pestle with the cumin, sesame seeds, sea salt & freshly cracked pepper. Then toast the pistachios in the same skillet, remove from heat and roughly chop. Place into the spice and seed mixture. Store the remaining dukkah in an air-tight container for up to two weeks.
Make the brown butter: using a small pot or pan, melt the butter over medium heat and continuously stir. The butter will foam and a nutty aroma will waft up—be careful not to burn, if you see smoke or smell anything burning, start over.
Once the butter is melted and has a faint golden brown color, add the sage leaves. Remove from the heat and pour over the squash. Garnish with a sprinkle of pistachio dukkah, flaky sea salt and freshly cracked pepper. Serve warm.

What is a SignUp Sheet?
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, SignUp Sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
How do I create a SignUp Sheet?
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
- Go to Evite SignUp Sheets and choose the template that best fits your needs. Evite offers multiple signup sheet templates perfect for every occasion, including:
- Signup sheets for one day events (without different time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing a class party, potluck or end-of-season party.
- Signup sheets for single or multiple day events (with time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing concession stand volunteers, fundraisers, parent-teacher conferences, meal train, post-game snack duty or during appreciation week.
- After selecting your sheet template, create a title for your signup sheet and add the date, the location, the time (if applicable), who the organizer is, the organizer’s phone number or email and an optional note describing the event to your volunteers. You can also change your signup sheet background and title image if you wish!
- Next, create slots for your signup sheet. If you aren’t logged into your account, you will need to do so at this point, but luckily, you can use your existing Evite account (no need to create yet another login!). What you’ll include here will depend on what your event needs, but you can include a list of what’s needed (along with optional descriptions), how many volunteers are needed, and dates and times.
- After creating your slots, you can then add a wish list from any retailer or include supply suggestions from Evite’s retailer partners. These are to help your volunteers find and purchase supplies quickly and easily.
- Finally, review your sheet, copy your shareable link and send it out to everyone on your list! Every time a volunteer signs up for a slot on your signup sheet, Evite will email you. We will also send reminders to you and your volunteers before your event so no one will forget about it, and we’ll even let volunteers know if you remove their slot or cancel your event sheet so you don’t have to!
What information should be included on a SignUp Sheet?
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
- A title for your signup sheet. Tip: Aim to keep your signup sheet title concise but clear. You want volunteers to read it and have a general understanding of what your event is about, and also make it easy for them to look for later if they need to reference your sheet again. You have the option to include a more descriptive note in a different field about your event, so save the more in-depth details for that!
- When and where the event is taking place.
- The organizer’s name and phone number.
- Slots for volunteers to choose from. Once you choose the SignUp Sheets template that fits the occasion, the slots you’ll need for your sheet will be right there and ready for you to add the relevant info, such as dates, times, items to bring and tasks to complete.
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
What are the benefits of using a SignUp Sheet template?
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
- A 100% free experience (no subscriptions required!).
- Shareable links for quick and easy sharing.
