Sweet Potato and Kale Salad
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 bunch of kale, stems removed and leaves torn into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 cup of chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup of dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the diced sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the kale by massaging it with 2 tablespoons of olive oil for a few minutes to soften the leaves.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
- In a large bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, massaged kale, chopped pecans, and dried cranberries. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
- Serve the sweet potato and kale salad immediately, or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
