Hearty salad, Packed with 


Ingredients



  • 2 lbs curly green kale about 2 generous bunches

  • Kosher salt

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 large avocado, diced

  • 3 scallions, white and green parts sliced thin

  • 1/3 cup unseasoned roasted cashews, chopped

  • 1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper




Spicy Cashew Herb Dressing



  • 1 clove garlic, smashed

  • 1 tsp honey

  • 1/3 cup unsalted roasted cashews

  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

  • 1 cup fresh parsley

  • 1 cup fresh cilantro

  • 1/3 cup unseasoned rice wine vinegar

  • 1/2 cup olive or avocado oil



Directions




  • Preheat the oven to 425 Degrees F.



  • Rinse and chop the kale, discarding the tough stem ends.



  • Add kale to a very large bowl and top with one teaspoon of salt. Don't worry if it's overflowing a bit, the kale will shrink down while you prep the salad.



  • Using your hands, massage the salt into the kale for about 10 seconds. Leave the bowl of kale to the side while you continue with the salad.



  • On a large sheet pan, mix diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few turns of fresh cracked pepper. Spread in an even layer.



  • Roast for 15-20 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Set aside at room temperature.





Make the Spicy Cashew Herb Dressing:




  • Add all dressing ingredients to a high speed blender and blend for 10-20 seconds, just until smooth and green. If the dressing is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water.



  • Set aside.





Compose the Salad:




  • To the bowl of massaged kale, add sweet potatoes, avocado, scallions, cashews, and a few cracks of black pepper.



  • Drizzle with the cashew herb dressing and toss well.



  • Serve. This salad will also keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
