Harvest Bowls
Inspired by sweetgreens harvest bowls, this hearty salad is a fall staple. Warm sweet potatoes and squash combined with fall flavors of goat cheese and balsamic will make this your new go to.
Course Main Course, Salad
For the Salad:
- 1 bunch Kale, washed
- 2 Sweet Potatoes, diced
- 2 medium Delicata squash (optional), sliced
- 1 pound Chicken breasts (2 breasts), seasoned and roasted
- 1 Apple
- 1/2 C Almonds, roughy chopped
- 1-2 medium Shallots, thinly sliced
- 4 oz Goat cheese
- 1 tbs olive oil, for roasting
- 2 tsp garlic
- 1 tsp Dried rosemary or rosemary powder (optional)
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
For the Dressing
- 1/4 C Balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Honey
- 1/2 C Olive Oil
Roast the Veggies
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Add chopped sweet potato and delicata squash to a sheet pan drizzle with olive oil. Season with garlic powder, dried rosemary, salt and pepper.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping about half way through. Potatoes and squash should be tender when pierced with a fork.
Make the Dressing
While that is baking, prepare your salad dressing by pouring the vinegar into a mason jar and adding honey, dijon, salt, and pepper. Using a handheld frother, mix the ingredients until combined. While continuing to forth, slowly add olive oil.
Alternatively, you can add all dressing ingredients to a jar and shake until combined, but I find the above method makes a much creamier dressing!
Prep the Ingredients + Assemble the Salad
Start by massaging some of the dressing into the Kale, reserving 1/4 to 1/2 to drizzle on top of the salad.
Dice the apple and chicken breast, chop your almonds, and slice the shallots.
When the squash and potatoes are done roasting, remove from the oven and cool until cool enough to handle, but still warm.
Starting with a bed of massaged kale, add the remaining ingredients on top of your salad. Best served warm.
