Zutaten:
- 1 large sweet potato (about 15 ounces), peeled and cut into ¾ inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus 1 teaspoon for the kale
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt, plus a pinch for the kale
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 bunch curly kale (about 7 ounces)
- 1 medium apple, cored and cut into ¾ inch cubes
- ⅓ cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 2 tablespoons hemp seeds (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 ½ tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or more to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Arbeitsschritte:
- Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mound the sweet potatoes in the middle and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Toss to coat, then spread into a single layer. When the oven is preheated, roast the potatoes, stirring once, until tender and just beginning to turn a light golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool until just warm.
- While the potatoes roast, strip the kale from the stems (these are too tough for the salad). Tear the leaves into 1- to 2-inch pieces, then rinse under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels, then use clean hands to rub 1 teaspoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt into the kale. Massage the leaves until they feel a bit more tender. Set aside on the counter to tenderize even more until the sweet potatoes are ready.
- Make the dressing: combine the mustard, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, ⅛ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, and whisk until well blended and creamy. Whisk in the olive oil, and then taste the dressing. Adjust with additional salt, vinegar, or maple syrup.
- To assemble the salad, toss the massaged kale with the sweet potatoes, apples, almonds, hemp seeds if using, and the dressing.
