Gwyneth Paltrow's Kale & Sweet Potato Salad with Miso

From GP’s new cookbook, The Clean Plate: “I could never get bored of this salad. Tossing the sweet potatoes with the dressing while they’re still warm is key—it helps the potatoes absorb all that delicious citrusy-umami flavor.” GWYNETH PALTROW SERVES 2 

FOR THE SALAD:

1 sweet potato, cut into 1-inch cubes 

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon chickpea miso paste

⅛ medium red onion, thinly sliced 

¼ teaspoon grated lime zest

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

2 cups baby kale

¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves

¼ cup hulled pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

1 teaspoon sesame seeds

FOR THE DRESSING:

2 teaspoons chickpea miso paste 

2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger 

zest and juice of 2 limes

½ cup extra virgin olive oil

flaky sea salt

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the miso and olive oil. Toss the cubed sweet potatoes in the miso mixture until evenly coated. Spread the potatoes out on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until soft and caramelized.

3. While the potatoes roast, in a small bowl, toss the onion slices with the salt and lime zest and let sit for about 10 minutes.

4. Then make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the miso, ginger, lime zest, and lime juice. While whisking continuously, slowly add the olive oil, then whisk until emulsified. Taste and season with salt. 

5. While the potatoes are still warm (not hot), transfer them to a serving bowl and toss with the kale, cilantro, pepitas, onion, and dressing. Finish with the sesame seeds.
