- 1 sweet potato, medium
- 1 cup farro, cooked
- 2 cups curly kale, stems removed
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
- ¼ cup cheddar cheese, grated
- salad dressing
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Peel and dice the sweet potato into 1 inch cubes. Place on a baking sheet and toss with olive oil and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Cook for 25 minutes, tossing around the 15 minute mark, until soft and cooked through.
Cook the farro according to package directions.
Take some curly kale leaves, remove the center stems, and chop into bite-sized pieces. Toss with your favorite salad dressing.
Into a bowl, place the farro, sweet potatoes, kale, grated cheddar cheese, and dried cranberries. Mix together and enjoy.
- Leave out the cheddar cheese if you desire.
- For the dressing for the kale, you can use your favorite dressing. (Though ranch is probably not the best option! We recommend a vinaigrette!) We've been using this apple cider vinaigrette.
- You can also substitute Tuscan kale for the curly kale if you desire.
- If you don't want to use farro or can't find it, use brown rice or quinoa.
