Instructions
- To make the wild rice, follow the instructions on the back of the box. After the rice is cooked, spread it on a baking tray to cool down faster. Set aside.
- To make the sweet potatoes, Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Peel and cube sweet potatoes. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking tray and toss with 1 tablespoon of avocado oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until caramelized and cooked through.
- To toast the almonds, Turn the oven down to 350 degrees. Place almonds on a baking tray and toast for 8 minutes or until toasted and golden brown.
- To make the dressing, Place all ingredients into a jar and blend with an immersion blender. For more detailed instructions check out my Basil Balsamic Dressing recipe.
- To assemble the salad, Place kale in your salad bowls and massage it will a small amount of olive oil and salt. Top the salad with roasted sweet potatoes, wild rice, chicken, apples, goat cheese, almonds, and dressing. Toss before serving.
Notes
- Massage the kale with a pinch of salt and a small amount of olive oil to make the sturdy greens easier to eat.
- Meal prep for the work week for a healthy and filling salad/bowl.
- To make life easier, use a rotisserie chicken from the store.
- If you can't find wild rice, Farro makes a great substitute.
