  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • pepper
  • 4oz baby kale or baby spinach
  • 3 scallions (sliced thin)
  • 1 bunch Italian parsley (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup safflower oil (plus 2 TBL to roast potatoes)
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic (peeled)
  • 1 heaped tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons minced ginger
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350F
Peel and cut sweet potato into cubes
Toss potatoes with 2 TBL safflower oil, salt and pepper
Lay in a single layer on a sheet tray, and bake for 20-25 minutes, until edges are starting to brown
Let cool
Step 2
Make dressing by putting vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, sugar, and ginger into a blender
With blender running, slowly add safflower oil, finishing with sesame oil
You will have more dressing than you need, but it will keep for up to a week in a sealed container in the refrigerator
Step 3
Put potatoes, kale, scallions and parley into a bowl
Toss with dressing, staring with 1/4 cup, and adding more until everything is coated, but no dressing is in the bowl
