Ingredients
- 2 sweet potato diced into cubes, medium
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds aka pepitas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon orange juice or lemon juice, fresh
- ¼ cup feta cheese crumbled
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ⅓ cup dried cherries
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ cup chickpeas roasted or canned
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 kale stemmed and very finely chopped (about 6 cups chopped kale, large bunch, Tuscan variety
- salt to taste, freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
Instructions
- 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.)
