Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C or 350°F. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

OvenPreheat

Step 2

Place the cubed sweet potato on the baking tray and drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil. Season generously with sea salt and pepper and place the tray in the oven. Roast for 35-40 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

Step 3

To prepare the kale, place the shredded leaves into a bowl. Pour over the juice of 1/2 a lemon and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Season with sea salt and pepper before using your hands to massage the kale, this softens it to support digestion and also boosts flavor. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large bowl combine the marinated kale, bell pepper, cucumber, cherry tomatoes and parsley leaves and stalks. Toss to combine. Once the sweet potato is cooked and has cooled slightly add it to the mix. Pour over the dressing and toss again to coat.

Step 5

To serve, spread the salad mix onto a large serving platter and top with the crumbled feta, mixed seeds, cranberries and chilli flakes if using.

Step 6

(This was included in the instructions but no dressing ingredients were listed.) To make the dressing, place all of the ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until combined. Set aside.
