Method
Rinse all vegetables thoroughly to remove any pesticides. Finely chop the collard greens and grate the butternut squash to prevent choking. Toss the greens, squash, and bell pepper together in a shallow feeding dish. Lightly dust the mixture with the calcium powder just before serving. If feeding an omnivore like a bearded dragon, top the salad with a few gut-loaded black soldier fly larvae for added protein. Serve fresh in the morning and remove any uneaten portions by late afternoon to maintain enclosure hygiene.
