Ingredients
- 4 cups chopped kale or your choice of fresh greens
- 1 gala apple thinly sliced or chopped
- 1 cup roasted sweet potato
- 3 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
- ¼ cup pecans chopped
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
Pumpkin Maple Vinaigrette
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 3 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 small garlic clove grated
Instructions
- Start by peeling a sweet potato and chopping it, no bigger than 1 inch chunks. Toss it in a little bit of oil just to coat and season with your choice of seasonings. I like to sprinkle on some coarse black pepper. Roast it in the air fryer at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes until nice and crispy.
- Slice an apple into chunks or thin slices, whichever you prefer.
- Roughly chop some pecans.
- Add some chopped kale into a large serving bowl and assemble all the ingredients.
- Begin preparing the pumpkin maple vinaigrette by adding all the ingredients in a small dish and whisk together until well combined.
- Pour the dressing over the salad bowl and set a plate or lid on top. If using a plate, handle with caution and hold the bowl and lid tightly together so you can shake the bowl to evenly coat the salad contents with the dressing.
- Serve and enjoy!
