Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 21

For the dressing:
¼ cup tahini
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
½ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
Lots of freshly ground black pepper
2-3 tablespoons warm water, to thin the dressing
For the salad:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium to large sweet potato, cut into ½ inch cubes (or 2 cups cubed sweet potato)
1 bunch of Tuscan kale, stems removed and very finely chopped (or 8-10 cups chopped kale)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 avocado, sliced or diced
½ cup wasabi peas* (or roasted salted chickpeas), for crunch
For the sweet and spicy pistachios:
½ cup shelled roasted pistachios
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Sprinkle of sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Add cubed sweet potatoes onto the pan and drizzle with olive oil; toss well to coat the sweet potatoes in oil. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until tender, flipping halfway through.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing: tahini, garlic powder, fresh lemon juice, pure maple syrup, dijon mustard, salt, pepper and water. I like to start with 2 tablespoons of water, but you may need 3 total tablespoons to achieve a creamy dressing that is easily pourable. You'll want to be able to coat all of the kale nicely so a thinner dressing is better. Set dressing aside.
  • Add the finely chopped kale to a large bowl and pour the dressing over. Use a tongs to coat the kale with the dressing; you REALLY want to get it mixed well so toss together for a few minutes to help breakdown the kale. Allow the dressing to sit with the kale for 15 minutes or longer to help the kale marinate with the dressing. Add in your roasted sweet potato cubes, cranberries, avocado and wasabi peas or roasted chickpeas. Give the salad a gentle toss to combine.
  • Finally make your sweet and spicy pistachios: place pistachio in a skillet over medium heat. Toast nutes for 4-6 minutes, stirring frequently until they turn just slightly golden then turn off heat and immediately add in maple syrup, cayenne pepper and sea salt. Stir for 15 more seconds to coat pistachios, then transfer to a piece of parchment paper to cool for a few minutes. Pistachios may stick together so try to spread them in an even layer when they are cooling. Slightly chop once they're a little cool and place them on the salad. Enjoy! Salad keeps well for 3-4 days. Serves 4-6

Categories     Lunch     Salad

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 medium sweet potatoes (diced into cubes)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon maple syrup
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large bunch of Tuscan kale (stemmed and very finely chopped (about 6 cups chopped kale))
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice or lemon juice
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon maple syrup
Freshly ground salt and pepper (to taste)
1/4 cup pepitas pumpkin seeds
¼ cup feta cheese crumbles
⅓ cup dried cherries
½ cup roasted or canned chickpeas

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place cubed sweet potatoes on baking sheet, drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil and maple syrup over the top then add garlic and salt. Toss to evenly coat the sweet potatoes with oil and spices.
  • Spread sweet potato cubes evenly around pan and roast for 35-45 minutes, stirring halfway through, until sweet potatoes are fork tender.
  • While the sweet potatoes are cooking, chop your kale if you haven't already and add it to a large bowl.
  • Next prepare your dressing: In a small bowl add the following: olive oil, orange juice, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard and maple syrup; whisk until smooth.
  • Pour dressing all over the chopped kale and use your (clean) hands to gently massage the dressing into the kale for a few minutes. This helps remove any bitterness from the kale and adds flavor the the leafy green.
  • Once sweet potato cubes are done cooking, add it to the kale.
  • Pour into 4 salad bowls, or 1 large bowl for sharing.
  • Before you serve the salad, top with pumpkin seeds, feta and roasted crunchy chickpeas. (Tip: Don't add the cheese or pumpkin seeds until you are ready to eat; you want them crunchy not soggy.)

Tips:

  • Choose the right kale: For this salad, it's best to use curly kale or lacinato kale. These varieties have a hearty texture that can stand up to the other ingredients in the salad.
  • Massage the kale: This helps to break down the tough fibers in the kale and make it more tender. To massage the kale, simply grab a handful of leaves and rub them between your hands for a few minutes.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes: Roasting the sweet potatoes gives them a slightly caramelized flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients in the salad.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really brings this salad together. Be sure to use a dressing that has a good balance of sweet, sour, and salty flavors.
  • Add some crunch: The nuts and seeds in this salad add a nice crunch that helps to offset the soft texture of the kale and sweet potatoes.

Conclusion:

This kale and sweet potato salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, and fiber. Plus, it's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying salad, give this kale and sweet potato salad a try.
