Warm Kale and Sweet Potato Salad with Maple Cider Dressing and Cinnamon Pita Chips
A delicious and healthy salad made with roasted purple sweet potatoes.
Ingredients
- 6 cups chopped kale I used organic pre-packed/washed kale
- 2 cups purple sweet potatoes quartered then cut into 1 ½ inch pieces
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 small to medium sized whole wheat pita bread rounds cut into triangles
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil for dressing/ 1 tablespoon more for potatoes
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ⅓ cup pomegranate seeds
- ¼ cup pepitas
- crumbled goat cheese to your liking
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 F.
- Make the dressing by whisking together vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, salt, pepper and olive oil (set aside).
- Toss sweet potatoes on a baking sheet with a dash of salt and olive oil.
- Cook until fork tender about 25-30 minutes and let cool slightly.
- In meantime, in a large bowl, massage kale with half the dressing, until leaves are completely covered with dressing and begin to wilt down a bit (about 1-2 min).
- On a smaller baking sheet, toss pita triangles with some cinnamon and toast them in the same oven as potatoes, until golden and crisp about 8-10 min.
- Once potatoes have cooled slightly but are still warm, add them to the kale with pomegranate, pepitas, goat cheese and pita croutons.
- Toss with a bit more of the dressing and serve.
