Indulge in the exquisite flavors of our Mediterranean Sweet Potato Kale Salad with Balsamic-Tahini Dressing – a culinary masterpiece straight from my kitchen! This salad is a standout, especially the dressing, which I find myself craving on a loop. It's an ideal choice for meal prep lunches, maintaining its freshness beautifully even after dressing. If you decide to give it a try, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

**Ingredients:**
- 1 medium sweet potato, scrubbed or peeled
- Extra-virgin olive oil for roasting
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 Tbsp. tahini
- 3 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 large bunch lacinato kale, stems and ribs removed, chopped
- 1 cup cooked quinoa or lentils
- 1/3 cup sliced sun-dried tomatoes in oil
- 1 medium ripe avocado, cubed
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta
- 1/4 cup roasted, salted pistachios, chopped

**Instructions:**
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Thinly slice the sweet potato crosswise on a mandolin or with a sharp chef’s knife (aim for wafer-thin slices). Spread them on a rimmed baking sheet, toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Roast for 15-25 minutes, depending on size/thickness, tossing once halfway through, until tender and slightly crisp around the edges.

2. While the sweet potato is roasting, combine tahini, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp. salt in a glass jar or bowl. Stir to combine and gradually add 2 to 3 Tbsp. cold water, stirring each time, until the dressing is smooth and creamy.

3. Place the chopped kale in a large bowl, drizzle with a bit of EVOO, and season with a pinch of salt. Massage the oil and salt into the greens with your hands until they soften, about 30 seconds.

4. Add the roasted sweet potato and the remaining salad ingredients (quinoa or lentils, sun-dried tomatoes, avocado, feta, and pistachios) to the kale. Drizzle the creamy dressing over the top and toss to combine.
