Gathering the Ingredients

This salad starts with sweet potatoes and garbanzo beans roasted in avocado oil, seasoned with chili powder and smoked paprika. While the sweet potatoes and beans are in the oven, I’ll prepare the greens and dressing.

I love the combination of crunchy Romaine lettuce and nutrient-rich kale in this salad, but feel free to swap in other greens as long as they aren’t too bitter or soft.

Making the Creamy Jalapeño Cashew Dressing

The Creamy Jalapeño Cashew Dressing comes together in just 5 minutes by blending cashews, water, lime juice, nutritional yeast, miso paste, Dijon mustard, salt, garlic, and one jalapeño. This dressing is rich, slightly “cheesy,” and so savory that you might just want to drink it straight from the blender!
