Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Place the diced sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat evenly. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized.
-
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the kale by massaging it with a bit of olive oil for a few minutes to reduce bitterness.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, chopped kale, cherry tomatoes, toasted walnuts, dried cranberries, and grated Parmesan cheese.
-
To make the roasted garlic dressing, cut the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves. Place the garlic on a sheet of aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap it tightly. Roast the garlic in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and caramelized.
-
Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into a blender or food processor. Add olive oil, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
-
Drizzle the roasted garlic dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients.
-
Serve the Sweet Potato Kale Salad with Roasted Garlic Dressing immediately and enjoy the delicious blend of flavors and textures.
