INGREDIENTS
Salad<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 1 large sweet potato<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 cup dried, unsweetened cranberries<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 cup chopped pecans<\/li>\n
  • 4 beets peeled<\/li>\n
  • 1 head of kale chopped<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup cooked quinoa<\/li>\n
  • 2 tablespoon of coconut oil<\/li>\n
  • Salt and pepper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Dressing<\/p>\n

      \n
    • 2 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar<\/li>\n
    • 1 tsp wasabi (or other mustard if preferred)<\/li>\n
    • Juice of a lime<\/li>\n
    • \u00bc cup extra virgin olive oil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      METHOD<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F (180\u00b0C)<\/li>\n
      2. Dice sweet potato into 3cm cubes. Peel fresh beets dice into 3cm cubes.<\/li>\n
      3. Toss on a baking sheet with coconut oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for about 40-45 minutes, tossing occasionally until the vegetables are soft.<\/li>\n
      4. While the vegetables are cooking, blanch the kale to reduce bitterness and soften the greens. To blanch, stir the chopped kale leaves into boiling water for 2-3 minutes, drain, then run under cold water to stop the cooking process.<\/li>\n
      5. In a large bowl, toss together the sweet potato, beets, pecans, cranberries, kale and quinoa.<\/li>\n
      6. To make dressing, place vinegar, wasabi and lime juice in a blender. Blend on medium for 30 seconds. Switch to lowest setting and slowly pour in oil with motor running.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Add dressing to salad and toss well.<\/p>\n
