Ingredients
  

For the sweet potato kale salad

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 bunches kale washed and massaged
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa cooled

For the dijon dressing

  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

Roast the sweet potatoes

  • Preheat oven to 425°F degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the diced sweet potatoes to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil onto the potatoes, sprinkle salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Pour the sweet potatoes onto the baking sheet in a single layer and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes. Remove and let cool for a few minutes.

Make the dressing

  • Add all of the dressing ingredients to a small bowl or mason jar and mix well to emulsify.

Assemble and dress the salad

  • Add the massaged kale to a salad bowl or platter, and top with the cooked quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, red onion, pecans, cranberries, and goat cheese.
  • Pour on the dressing, toss lightly, and serve.

Notes

Massage the kale before building the salad for better results. This helps break down the kale and make it softer and more delicious. To do this, add the chopped kale to a large bowl, drizzle it with olive oil and pinch of salt and massage it with your hands or salad tongs for 1-2 minutes. To store this salad: Place ingredients into separate containers and assemble and dress the salad when ready to eat.
