When I was little, I didn’t like vegetables. They were “healthy” and good for you, but I don’t remember them tasting good - like spinach or green beans.
I recently took a cooking class that offered a “healthy” recipe that not only tasted good, it blew my taste buds away! It was hearty, satisfying and a joy to eat. I’ve learned to prepare spinach and green beans in a way that they are delicious just by adding the right spices. For example, I lightly stir fry green beans in a little butter and smoked salt. It’s important not to over cook it so that it stays crisp -It’s amazing! Here is the recipe I learned in a cooking class taught by Hannah McKitrick at www.myintuitivehealth.com Check her out, she has some wonderful recipes. This one has become my top 3 favorite salads. This is the link to Hannah’s recipe and her directions: https://myintuitivehealth.com/recipes/harvest-salad-with-sweet-potato-quinoa-and-green-goddess-dressing/ My tweaks are in purple. Harvest Salad with Sweet Potato, Quinoa, and Green Goddess DressingSalad Ingredients
Dressing IngredientsI doubled the recipe because it’s so good!
For the Sweet Potato Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Dice sweet potatoes in half inch cubes and toss with oil, salt, pepper, and curry powder. Bake for about 35-40 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until tender and charring. For the Quinoa Cook quinoa according to package instructions. Combine the quinoa and liquid in a medium pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cover until the liquid has been absorbed (about 15 minutes). I use chicken broth instead of water, or you can use vegetable broth. For the Dressing In a food processor combine all the ingredients. If the mixture is too thick, add water to thin. Taste for seasoning and adjust salt/pepper accordingly. To Assemble In a large salad bowl, toss the lettuce with enough dressing to coat. Top with the cooked grain, roasted sweet potato, sliced avocado, and cheese. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and extra drizzle of dressing-enjoy!
