4.37 22 Published Feb 17, 2020, Updated Jan 30, 2024 The salad I’m sharing today is a bit different. Although it’s served chilled, everything included is cooked beforehand, which makes this salad perfect for the fall and winter months. The onions are caramelized and the sweet potatoes are roasted, giving this salad loads of flavor. The roasted sweet potatoes are my favorite part — toasty on the outside while still creamy and sweet on the inside. Yes, please! The recipe is actually inspired by my cousin, Brooke. She had a big batch of this in her fridge one summer when I went to visit her. We munched on it for lunch and had it as a side with dinner. I couldn’t stop talking about how good it was. I mean, it was basically made for me because it has all my favorite foods. She gets me! Okay, so let’s get to making this salad.
Here’s What You Need:
vegetables – sweet potatoes, red onion, garlic, curly kale, fresh thyme quinoa avocado or olive oil red wine vinegar salt, pepper and nutmeg
The sweet potatoes and onion bring a caramelized flavor to the dish while the vinegar and thyme “dressing” adds a little tang. It’s the perfect combination!
Serving Suggestions
There are so many ways to serve this delicious salad. Serve warm after you’ve cooked all of the components or let everything marinate in the fridge and enjoy cold! The salad is hearty enough to serve as a main for a light lunch or you could pair it with protein for something more substantial. If you’re like me, you can just snack on it straight from the fridge. 🙂
