Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cups quinoa
  • 2 sweet potatoes
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 head of kale
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 can of chickpeas (drained)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Dressing:

  • 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1/8 cup water

Instructions

  1. Prepare quinoa according to package instructions.
  2. Peel and slice sweet potatoes into bite sized pieces and slice the onion into bite sized pieces.
  3. Toss the sweet potato and onion in 2/3 of the olive oil and sprinkle with half the cumin, paprika, salt and garlic powder.
  4. Place the sweet potatoes and onions on a lined baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes.
  5. Remove the stems from the kale and chop well.
  6. Mix the chickpeas with remaining oil and spices and sauté in a pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  7. Remove the chickpeas from the pan. Add the kale to the hot pan and sauté until slightly wilted.
  8. Slice the avocados.
  9. Prepare the dressing by adding all ingredients to a mason jar or dressing bottle. Shake extremely well. This requires elbow grease to get the dressing to mix properly. Add more water, if needed.
