Ingredients
🌱 From Your Homestead
- sweet potatoes (2 medium)
- fresh kale (1 large bunch)
- raw honey (1 tsp, for dressing)
🛒 From the Store
- pepitas (1/3 cup)
- tahini (2 tbsp)
- apple cider vinegar (2 tbsp)
- olive oil
- garlic (1 clove)
- lemon
- dried cranberries optional
- salt
- cumin (1/2 tsp)
How to Make It
- Gather your ingredients: sweet potatoes (2 medium), fresh kale (1 large bunch), raw honey (1 tsp, for dressing), pepitas (1/3 cup), tahini (2 tbsp), and the rest.
- Prep your homestead ingredients — wash, chop, and measure: sweet potatoes (2 medium), fresh kale (1 large bunch), raw honey (1 tsp, for dressing).
- Massage the kale with olive oil and salt for 2 minutes with your hands before adding anything else. The rough handling breaks down the tough cell structure, making it tender and removing the bitterness. Unmassaged kale in a salad is unpleasant; massaged kale is excellent.
- Cook for approximately 40 min. Adjust to taste and serve 4 portions.
- Plate, enjoy, and share with your household!
