Recipe :https://www.thewholesmiths.com/wprm_print/12901
Ingredients
-
2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and iced into bite sized pieces
-
2 teaspoons olive oil
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
10 ounces chopped tuscan lacinto kale, stems removed (about 10 stems of kale)
-
2 cups cooked quinoa
-
1/2 cup pecans candied or salted, your choice
-
1/3 cup dried cranberries
-
1/4 crumbled blue cheese optional
-
1 cup Lemon Tahini Dressing
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425* F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Toss the sweet potato with the olive oil and salt. Spread the sweet potato evenly in one layer onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast the sweet potato for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
-
Remove the sweet potato bites and let them cool to room temp.
-
To assemble the salad bowl, plate the kale and top with 1/4 of the sweet potatoes, 1/4 of the quinoa, 1/4 of the cranberries and 1/4 of the blue cheese (optional). Pour dressing (recipe here) over top to taste and sprinkle with a touch of additional salt if desired.
Notes
-
Make sure to remove the stems thoroughly from your kale prior to chopping it. No one like a tough stem in their salad.
-
Also, make sure to chop your kale into bite-sized pieces. No need to a giant hunk you need to cut up.
-
Feel free to add a sprinkle of salt over top. Kale is quite cruciferous and I find tends to taste a bit better with a bit more salt. But then again, I like salty things. You do you but it’s ok to add a touch more salt if you like things on the saltier side.
