Salad Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato cubed
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos
- salt & pepper to taste
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 28 oz canned chickpeas rinsed and drained
- 1 bunch Tuscan kale finely chopped and massaged
- 2 cups red cabbage finely shredded
- 2 medium apples chopped (see note below)
- 1 cup dry white quinoa cooked and cooled
- 1 cup dried unsweetened cranberries
- 1 cup pecans chopped and toasted
Creamy Raspberry Pomegranate Dressing Ingredients
- ½ cup St Dalfour Raspberry Pomegranate Jam
- 1 orange juiced
- 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp roasted tahini
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the sweet potatoes with coconut aminos and seasonings. Spread on the baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping half way through, until perfectly golden. Remove and let cool.
- Prepare the dressing by combining all of the ingredients in a jar and whisking to combine. Season to taste with additional salt, pepper, or maple syrup if desired.
- Pour the dressing into the canister and layer the ingredients starting with the chickpeas, followed with the kale, cabbage, apples, sweet potatoes, quinoa, cranberries and pecans. Cover with the lid and store in the fridge until ready to serve. Best prepared at least 24 hours in advance so the chickpeas get to marinate in the dressing and soak up all the yummy flavor!
- When you're ready to serve, flip upside down into a bowl and enjoy!
