I’m big on salads right now. Actually I’m big on salads all the time. It’s rare for a day to go by without me having a salad of some sort, whether it’s warm or cold. There are so many possible combinations that I could never get bored, although I have my favourites of course, this being one of them. It combines some of my absolute favourite things: greens, sweet potato, and asparagus. I like to eat this as part of a Pixie Plate and dress it really simply with just a little soy sauce and lemon juice. Asparagus and lemon are a match made in heaven, and as the sweet potato is seasoned with paprika it really stands out on it’s own. Perfect for every season!
Serves: 1
Ingredients:
80g kale (baby kale works best, or spinach)
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 sweet potato (200g), chopped into 1cm cubes
A drizzle of olive oil
Sea salt
Paprika
8 stalks asparagus, sliced into thirds
What to do:
- Preheat the oven to 280°C
- Coat the sweet potato in a drizzle of oil, sea salt, and paprika
- Roast in the oven for around 20-25 minutes, until really soft
- Place the kale in a small bowl and rub in the soy sauce and lemon juice, then leave to one side
- Boil or steam the asparagus for a few minutes
- Assemble by mixing everything together and drizzling with a little extra lemon juice if needed
Ohhh this looks wonderful! Just pinned it 🙂
