"Must-Try" RECIPES
Seasonal & Regional Delights To Make In Your Own Kitchen |
Roasted Sweet Potato Kale Salad |
|
Tips for making salads with kale:
Because kale is more dense and sturdy than, say, spinach leaves, you want to treat it a bit differently.
- Be sure to chop it very finely so that the bites aren’t too large.
- Add the dressing to the kale by itself first and toss it all together really well. You can even do this with your hands and “massage” the dressing in so that all of the kale is well coated.
- Let it marinate! That’s right, you’ll want to let the dressed kale sit for at least 15 minutes before adding the other toppings so that it soaks up all of the flavor. It makes all the difference.

How to make this
sweet potato kale salad:
Roast your sweet potatoes.
Drizzle the cubed sweet potato with a little olive oil and roast it up.
Make the dressing.
While the sweet potato is roasting you can whisk together all of the ingredients for the tahini dressing.
Massage the kale.
Add the dressing to your kale and toss it all together well.
Add your toppings.
Gently toss in the rest of the ingredients except the pistachios.
Spice up those pistachios.
Lastly, you’ll toast the pistachios with the maple syrup, cayenne & sea salt until fragrant, let the cool, and add them with the rest of the salad. |

Make this sweet potato kale salad ahead of time
If you’re looking to meal prep this salad or serve it at a later date, feel free to chop your kale, roast the sweet potato, mix up your dressing and even make those pistachios ahead of time! The kale, dressing and sweet potato cubes can be kept in the fridge while everything else can be kept at room temp until ready to toss together and serve.
That being said, the salad can also be tossed together ahead of time too if you prefer to do this; it’s great even a few days later! I recommend just leave out the avocado until ready to serve. |
So, you're probably familiar with the classic Italian Tiramisu. It's one of my favorite desserts. Rich and creamy, not too sweet with a boozy espresso hit and luscious mascarpone cream. How can THAT get better, right?
Well, this Raspberry Tiramisu adds another layer of spirits by spiking the creamy mascarpone, egg yolk and whipped cream blend with Chambord (a luscious French raspberry liqueur). Instead of plain cocoa powder, I shave dark chocolate (60-70%) over each of the layers and nestle fresh raspberries into the lush cream.
Think Godiva's Raspberry Cream Truffles in Tiramisu form.
I think it'd be perfect for a Valentine's Day dessert. What do you think?
