Ingredients
The Salad:
- 2 to 4 large eggs
- 2 heads lacinato kale, chopped
- 1 large sweet potato, chopped
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- 1/3 cup raw walnuts
- 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 1/3 cup feta cheese crumbles, optional
Lemon Herb Dressing:
- 1/3 cup avocado oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp pure maple syrup, optional
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley,
- *1/4 cup fresh mint,
- *1/4 tsp sea salt, to taste
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 25 Minutes
Total Time: 40 Minutes
Yields: 2 Large Salads
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spread the chopped sweet potato over a large baking sheet and drizzle with avocado oil or olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Use your hands to toss everything together until potato chunks are well-coated in oil. Bake in the preheated oven 25 minutes, stirring half-way through.
- When potatoes have just a few minutes left, spread the walnuts and pumpkin seeds on a baking sheet and roast 3 to 4 minutes, until golden-brown. Remove roasted sweet potato, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds from the oven.
- While potatoes are roasting, cook the eggs. Fill a small saucepan with water and bring to a full boil. Using a slotted spoon, carefully drop eggs into the boiling water. Cook 6 minutes, then immediately transfer to an ice bath. Allow eggs to chill in the ice bath at least 15 minutes before peeling.
- Transfer chopped kale to a skillet with 1 to 2 teaspoons avocado oil. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until kale has softened but is still al dente, about 2 minutes. Transfer kale to a colander to strain any liquid and allow it to cool.
- Divide the kale between 2 to 4 bowls. Drizzle with lemon herb dressing (instructions below) and toss well. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, feta, avocado, and jammy eggs. Serve and enjoy!
Make Lemon Herb Dressing:
- Add all ingredients for the dressing to a small blender and blend until well-combined. Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
