Ingredients
 

For the Salad

  • 8 cups kale
  • 1 large sweet potato
  • ½ cup toasted pecan halves
  • ½ green apple, sliced
  • ⅓ cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • ⅓ cup goat cheese
  • ⅓ cup pomegranate seeds
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For the Dressing

Instructions
 

To Roast the Sweet Potatoes

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Wash, peel and cut your sweet potatoes into bite size cubes.
  • Add the sweet potatoes to a mixing bowl and drizzle the olive oil, melted butter, honey, salt and pepper over the top. Toss until well combined and all the cubes are well coated.
  • Pour them onto a baking sheet that’s been brushed or sprayed with olive oil and bake for 15-18 minutes or until they are cooked through and tender. Set them aside to cool before adding them to the salad.

To Make the Dressing

  • All of the dressing ingredients to a bullet blender cup, or you can use a bowl and a whisk.
  • Blend until the well combined and the dressing is emulsified, then set aside while you assemble the salad.

To Assemble the Salad

  • Wash, dry and chop your kale, I like to use a salad spinner to make it easier.
  • Add the kale to a large salad bowl and pour half of the dressing over the top. Massage the dressing into the kale. This helps to tenderize it and also give it great flavor. Add the cooled sweet potatoes over the top.
  • Wash, core and slice your green apple into thin slices. Add the slices in small groups around the salad.
  • Add in the toasted pecans, sliced red onion, pomegranate seeds and goat cheese. Pour the remaining dressing over the top, toss and serve.
