Description
A nutritious salad featuring kale and assorted roasted vegetables, perfect for a healthy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bunch of kale, stems removed and leaves chopped
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (for dressing)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste (for dressing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a large baking sheet, toss the sweet potato, red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out in a single layer.
- Roast the vegetables in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Turn the vegetables halfway through roasting for even cooking.
- While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped kale and massage it gently with a little olive oil and salt for a couple of minutes to soften the leaves.
- Add the roasted vegetables, cherry tomatoes, sunflower seeds, and crumbled feta cheese to the kale.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well combined.
- Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to two days.
Notes
- Ensure the kale is massaged well to improve texture.
- This salad can be customized with other vegetables as desired.
- Leftovers can be stored but are best eaten fresh.
