Ingredients

For the salad:
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil butter or butter substitute
  • 2 scallions chopped
  • 2 sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup brown/black raw quinoa rinsed
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 2 tablespoon water
  • 2/3 cup white navy beans (drained and rinsed from a can or home cooked)
  • 2 cups kale chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 2 scallions , chopped
For the dressing:
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Notes

  • Instead of navy beans, use chickpeas, black beans or lentils.
  • I love sprinkling some slivered almonds and some chopped scallions on the top of my sweet potato salad.
  • Other great additions are some chopped tomatoes, sweet bell peppers, broccoli or arugula.
