Ingredients
- 4 large beets (I used 2 red and 2 gold)
- 1 large sweet potato
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 bunch kale, stems removed and chopped (6 cups)
- 15 ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- ½ cup shelled pistachios, chopped
- ¾ cup plain greek yogurt
- 1 whole lemon, juiced
- 1 clove garlic, peeled
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 tablespoon honey
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Peel the beets and sweet potato. Cut them all in half, lengthwise. Then slice the halves into thin 1/8th slices.
- Pile the slices on one baking sheet. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil. Toss them well to coat. Then spread the beets and sweet potato slices out in a single layer across two baking sheets. Salt and pepper generously.
- Roast the beets and sweet potatoes in the oven for 20-30 minutes, until soft, but crispy around the edges.
- Meanwhile, prep the chickpeas and pistachios.
- To a blender jar, add the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, mint, rosemary, honey, remaining tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Cover and puree until smooth.
- Set out a large salad bowl. Add the chopped kale and chickpeas.
- Once the beets and sweet potatoes are out of the oven, allow them to cool for a few minutes. Then move them to the salad bowl.
- Pour ¾ of the dressing over the top of the salad and toss. Taste, and add more dressing if desired. Then toss in the chopped pistachios and serve.
Notes
- This is a great make-ahead or “meal prep” salad. You can make it at the beginning of the week and enjoy it up to 6 days later.
