Sweet Potato and Kale Salad with Spicy Peanut Dressing

Kale is plentiful in my garden year round, so it is easy to whip up a quick salad for dinner. This recipe with sweet potatoes is perfect for late summer or fall.

Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 small head of romaine chopped

1 cup kale

Olive oil

1/2 cup golden raisins

1 heaping tablespoon peanut butter

1 heaping tablespoon chutney

1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 tablespoon lemon juice

• Coat diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, spread on baking sheet and bake 375 degrees until softened (30 to 45 minutes), turning every 15 minutes.
• Wash kale, coat in olive oil and chop fine. Mix with romaine and add to salad bowl with raisins. Keep Chilled.
•  Make dressing: In food processor, combine remaining ingredients. When sweet potatoes are done, cool slightly, then add to salad and mix in dressing. Best serve while slightly warm.
