Observe: This Roasted Candy Potato, Quinoa and Kale Salad first appeared on the weblog on February 5, 2014 and is such a FAVORITE that I needed to replace it with brilliant new photographs!
Sure this recipe is a tried and true FAVORITE so I simply needed to replace the photographs and remind you all how scrumptious this salad is! It has been one among my go-to salads for years and the dressing is unimaginable! I like incorporating candy potatoes into my eating regimen so throwing them right into a salad was a no brainer and ever since I made these candy and spicy candy potato fries, I’ve been obsessive about this explicit seasoning! It’s a mix of garlic powder, onion powder, chipotle chili powder and oregano with a pinch of brown sugar. I’m telling you, it’s AMAZING. Simply belief me on this.
Roasting may be the simplest technique to prepare dinner something and these candy potatoes roasted superbly. All you do is chop up two medium candy potatoes into cubes (the smaller you make them the crispier they’ll be!) and toss them along with all of the seasonings I simply talked about. Now I’m fairly heavy handed and love my spice, however you may add as a lot or as little as you need. Roast these for about half-hour and put together to be amazed. This may occasionally severely change the way in which you eat candy potatoes, I’m simply that assured!
I tossed all the pieces with a easy crimson wine French dressing which coated the kale and the quinoa completely, however the actual taste got here from the spices from the candy potatoes! It was a good looking marriage made in heaven…er I imply my kitchen… and has the proper steadiness of greens, protein and starches. For those who’re not into kale any sort of lettuce would work too. Please make this to your liking!
Professional tip: Any time I make quinoa, I prefer to boil it in rooster (or veggie) broth reasonably than simply water as this provides SO a lot additional taste. It’s such a easy factor you are able to do that can actually make a distinction within the style!
Oh and this isn’t a small aspect salad both. It is a scrumptious fill-you-up type of salad and I positively advocate even including shredded rooster or shrimp to it as properly for an entire meal! My hubby isn’t huge on salads for dinner, nonetheless I used to be capable of win him over with this one. I do know there seem to be quite a lot of parts occurring for only a salad, however I promise you it’s value it! The candy potatoes and quinoa make this actually filling and on the finish of the day you simply really feel GOOD about what you’re consuming. I actually hope you all get pleasure from this salad as a lot as we do!
