For the Salad
- 1 bunch dino kale, washed and dried
- 2 cups sweet potato, diced (about 10 ounces)
- 1 1/4 cups cooked quinoa
- 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup dried cranberries, adjust to taste
- 1 large tart apple, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil For the Vinaigrette
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons good-quality balsamic vinegar
- salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Step 2: Dice the sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Toss with the oil and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping over halfway through cooking time. They will be done when they are fork-tender. Set aside. You should now have about 1.5 cups of roasted potatoes.
- Step 3: Whisk the vinaigrette ingredients together. Set aside.
- Step 4: Remove the hard stems from the kale. Chop the kale into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl. Pour half of the vinaigrette onto the kale. Using your hand, massage the dressing into the kale for 15 seconds. As you massage, the leaves will soften and reduce in volume. Note: Even if you are making this salad ahead of time, do not skip this step of massaging.
- Serve: Add the remaining salad ingredients: quinoa, cranberries, apple, and roasted sweet potatoes. Pour in the remaining vinaigrette, to taste, and stir to combine.
