Ingredients

  • 6 cups chopped kale
  • ¼ cup homemade vinaigrette click here for the recipe.
  • 3 tablespoons pecans chopped
  • 3 tablespoons feta cheese

For the sweet potatoes

  • 1 large sweet potato peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place sweet potato and toss in olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  • Roast in the oven for 20-30 minutes (it'll depend on the size of the sweet potato diced). When 15 minutes have passed, flip the potatoes over.
  • In a large bowl, add kale and the homemade dressing.
  • Massage until the kale starts to soften and wilt, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Top with pecans, feta, and sweet potato. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Massaging the kale before adding it to the salad will make the kale more tender.
  • When roasting the sweet potato, make sure everything is in a single layer with space in between. This allows the sweet potatoes to roast instead of steam.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes as uniformly as possible so they roast evenly. 
  • To store: Put leftovers into an airtight glass container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat: Rewarm the sweet potato cubes in the microwave or in the oven before serving if you'd like.
  • To freeze: Freeze the roasted sweet potato in a freezer-safe bag once they have reached room temperature. Freeze for up to 3 months.
