When you can't decide between potato and sweet potato, the answer is to clearly have a little bit of both. They pair perfectly with crunchy hazelnuts and a zesty, lemon-infused dressing in this recipe.
60gramsbaby kale leaves or rocket leaves(4-5 large handfuls)
2/3cuphazelnuts
1/4cupextra virgin olive oil
3tbspbalsamic vinegar
1lemon
Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
Heat oven to 180 C. Spread the hazelnuts out on an oven tray and toast for 7 - 10 minutes until they're browning and smell delicious. Remove from the oven, allow to cool and chop roughly. Set aside.
Wash the sweet potatoes and potatoes and cut into equal sized large cubes. Steam and/or roast the potatoes until just tender (my favourite way to cook them for this salad is to steam them until almost done, then pop them in the oven for 10 minutes so they get a slightly drier, crisped outside). Allow to cool.
Make the dressing by combining the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and juice of the lemon in a small jar or mug and shaking / whisking together. You can also add a little finely grated lemon zest for extra zing.
Arrange the salad by spreading out the salad leaves in a large bowl or on a large plate, then gently tossing the potato chunks throughout. Scatter over the hazelnuts and the pour over the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to finish.
