Description

This Autumn Salad with Maple Vinaigrette is a delightful mix of sweet and savory flavors, combining roasted sweet potatoes, fresh greens, and a tangy dressing for a perfect seasonal dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Tbsp. olive or avocado oil
  • 2 tsp. maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 3 cups peeled and cubed sweet potatoes (about 2 small-medium potatoes)
  • 1 bunch lacinato kale
  • stemmed and roughly chopped
  • 2 cups arugula (sub spring mix or spinach)
  • 1 medium apple
  • cored and sliced (or roughly chopped)
  • 3 Tbsp. toasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan or Pecorino cheese (sub plant-based cheesy shreds if making vegan)
  • Pomegranate arils for garnish optional
  • 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp. maple syrup
  • 2 tsp. white miso paste
  • 2 Tbsp. cider vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, combine olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt. Add sweet potatoes, toss to coat, and spread on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and golden, turning halfway through.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the maple vinaigrette by whisking together Dijon mustard, maple syrup, miso paste, cider vinegar, and olive oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, lacinato kale, arugula, and apple slices. Drizzle with the maple vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.
  4. Serve topped with toasted pumpkin seeds, shaved cheese, and pomegranate arils if desired.

Notes

Make sure to let the roasted sweet potatoes cool slightly before adding them to the salad for the best texture. This salad can be served warm or chilled.
