Preparation

Step 1

Prepare sauce by whisking together all ingredients except the oil, salt and pepper. Once combined, slowly whisk in the oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Be sure to adjust the vinaigrette to your tastes — add more oil or juice if it’s too spicy. Add more maple syrup if you want it sweeter. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water and quinoa to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until water is absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Fluff with a fork and let cool.
While quinoa is cooking, bring a small pot of water to a boil and add sweet potato chunks. Simmer until crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes. Strain the sweet potatoes and transfer to a bowl.
Grab serving dishes, add a base layer of baby kale on each dish, top with remaining ingredients, drizzle with vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper and extra sriracha (if needed) and serve.
