Ingredients

  • 1 large yam peel and dice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp ground pepper
  • 15 ounces baby kale packaged
  • ½ head red cabbage thinly shredded
  • 16 ounces Brussel sprouts thinly shredded
  • 2 carrots large
  • 1 cup dried cranberries chopped
  • ½ cup peanuts chopped
  • 1 Bosc pear diced
  • 5 ounces roasted chickpeas

Instructions

Roasting Yams

  • Preheat oven to 350°
  • Take prepared diced yams and place them on a baking tray. Coat with olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper.
  • Bake yams for 50 minutes, toss them midway through the baking.

Prepping Vegetables

  • Kale
    Chop kale into bite-size pieces. To cut the kale fast, I bunch them on my cutting board and then chop them with my knife
  • Cabbage
    Thinly slice red cabbage.
  • Brussel Sprouts
    Peel outer leaves of the Brussel sprouts and trim off the stem. Then thinly slice the sprouts.
  • Carrots
    Peel carrots and then grate them with a grater.
  • Dried Cranberries
    Roughly chop cranberries.
  • Peanuts
    Roughly chop peanuts as well.
  • Bosc Pear
    Core and dice the pear.

Mix Salad

  • Add all the ingredients to a big bowl and toss. If you want the peanuts and chickpeas to stay crunchy, you can allow everyone to add them to their salads.
