Kale, Sweet Potato and Blueberry Salad with Maple Tahini Dressing

Hi friends!! Today I’m bringing you this hearty and colorful kale salad, one of the best I’ve made in a long time!! Lean + mean + all things green.

A simple kale and raw veggie salad with a creamy maple tahini dressing. Vegan, gluten free and flexible for ingredients you have on hand!

This colorful + super healthy salad came together on a whim, inspired by some roasted veggie leftovers. It was just so good I wanted to share with YOU! It started wtih a craving for greens: Pedro was away for the weekend and I just wanted SALADS and cruciferous things so I bought all the things (kale! arugula! brussels! spinach!). Normally I throw together what I have with a simple balsamic vinaigrette but I wanted to change it up a bit, especially since I wanted to use kale as a base. I settled on a tahini maple dressing that would go well with the earthiness of roasted veggies. I was inspired by a recipe round up of salads on Cookie and Kate!!

I started with greens – a bag of shredded kale + cabbage + brussel sprouts from Trader Joe’s. I suppose that’s the shortcut way, but you can also chop up your own greens or use normal salad greens. I diced up red pepper and roasted a spiralized sweet potato for mine, but any type of root veggie would be great (carrots and parsnips!). The tahini dressing is so versatile that it will go with a lot of different vegetables!

I topped it off with a little avocado for healthy fats + some blueberries to complement the sweetness of the maple. YUM. I want to eat this all over again.

Is it talking to you like it did to me? Guys, this salad is legit, and I highly recommend you try it ASAP!! Get pre-shredded veggies to make it quicker, or just dice up some kale // cabbage // spinach and make.it.happen. You won’t regret it!

Ingredients

Salad Dressing

  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Dash of garlic powder
  • 1.5 teaspoons maple syrup
  • Salt to taste

Salad Ingredients

  • Mixed greens preferably hearty (I used a shredded brussels sprouts, kale and cabbage mix from Trader Joe's)
  • 1/2 of a red bell pepper diced
  • 2 cups roasted mixed vegetables sweet potato, brussels sprouts, carrots, parsnips
  • Avocado sliced
  • Blueberries strawberries, raspberries or grapes would be great too!

Instructions

  • Mix salad dressing ingredients together in a jar or small bowl. Set aside.
  • Shred or very finely chop up the salad ingredients if not already done (you can also use regular salad greens but will probably need less dressing). Massage the greens with a few tablespoons of dressing, adding more if necessary. Top with roasted vegetables, fruit and sliced avocado. Drizzle on more dressing. EAT!!

Bon appétit!
