Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
- 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.
