Massaged Kale Salad with Roasted Sweet Potato & Black Beans

Stacked with broiled yams and shallots, dark beans, quinoa, feta and pepitas, this salad makes for a delightful meatless dinner. Not in the least does kneading the kale soften it, it additionally assists the greens with retaining a greater amount of the splendid dressing.


Ingredients
  • 1 large sweet potato, cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
  • 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt, divided
  • 6 medium shallots, peeled and quartered
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 large clove garlic, grated
  • 1 pound kale, stemmed and torn
  • 1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added black beans, rinsed
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ½ cup unsalted pepitas, toasted
Position racks in upper and lower thirds of broiler; preheat to 425°F.

Throw yam with 1 tablespoon oil, chile powder and 1/8 teaspoon salt on an enormous rimmed baking sheet. 

Throw shallots with 1 tablespoon oil and 1/8 teaspoon salt on another huge rimmed baking sheet. Broil the vegetables, flipping once, until delicate and caramelized, around 20 minutes.

In the mean time, whisk lemon juice and garlic with the excess 3 tablespoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a huge bowl. 

Add kale and back rub with the dressing until dazzling green and gleaming and the volume is diminished by about half. Add beans, quinoa, feta, pepitas and the shallots. Throw to join and serve finished off with the yam.

Sweet Potato & Cauliflower Rice Bowl

In this riff on a solid grain bowl recipe, we use cauliflower rice rather than one more entire grain like earthy colored rice to scale back carbs and load up on veggie servings. 

A straightforward citrusy sprinkle, enlivened by Cuban magic sauce, completes these vegetarian rice bowls, ideal for lunch or supper.


Ingredients

  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled if desired, sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil plus 2 tablespoons, divided
  • 2 pinches salt plus 1/2 teaspoon, divided
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced, divided
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 5 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed
  • 1 firm ripe avocado, sliced
  • ½ cup pico de gallo
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Toss sweet potato in a medium bowl with 2 teaspoons oil, a pinch of salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet. Roast until tender, 10 to 14 minutes

Meanwhile, combine orange juice, lime juice, 1/4 cup cilantro, 1 minced garlic clove, cumin, oregano and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.

Pulse cauliflower florets in two batches in a food processor until chopped into rice-size pieces. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. 

Add the remaining 2 garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the cauliflower rice, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro.

To serve, divide the cauliflower among 4 bowls. Top with the sweet potato, black beans, avocado and pico de gallo. Drizzle each portion with the mojo sauce.
