Kale and Yam Salad

Ingredients

• 5/8 jewel yams, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 3/8 onion, sliced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 3/8 bunch kale, torn into bite-sized pieces
• 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Toss the yams with 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and arrange evenly onto a baking sheet.
2.Bake in the preheated oven until the yams are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool to room temperature in the refrigerator.
3.Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onion and garlic until the onion has caramelized to a golden brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in the kale, cooking until wilted and tender. Transfer the kale mixture to a bowl, and cool to room temperature in the refrigerator.
4.Once all the ingredients have cooled, combine the yams, kale, red wine vinegar, and fresh thyme in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and gently stir to combine.
