Apple and Sweet Potato Harvest Salad
This recipe is perfect for anyone looking to increase their fruit and vegetable intake. While this recipe isn’t vegetarian (glory in the bacon bits), it does serve up a heaping bowl of nutrient-rich foods.
Our Maple Bourbon Bacon Chopped Salad Kit balances smoky bacon and crunchy golden honey almonds with a sweet maple bourbon vinaigrette. The base of this salad is a mix of crisp romaine lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, green onion, and carrots. But we don’t stop there. In this recipe you’ll top it with thinly sliced apples and roasted sweet potatoes and enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 Taylor Farms Maple Bourbon Bacon Chopped Salad Kit
- 1 apple, sliced
- 1 sweet potato, cubed and roasted
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Cut the sweet potato into 1” cubes and place on a cookie sheet. Toss with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 30 minutes and flip them halfway through at 15 minutes. Once the sweet potatoes are done roasting, set them out to cool.
- While the sweet potatoes are cooling, slice the apple in half moon shapes.
- Assemble the Maple Bourbon Bacon Chopped Salad Kit, add the toppings, drizzle the dressing. Serve in bowls or on plates and top the salad with apple slices and roasted sweet potatoes. Enjoy!
What’s the Allure of Sweet Potatoes?
Sweet potatoes—especially the orange and purple ones—are good sources of fiber, potassium, vitamin B6, and especially vitamin A (clocking in at 769% of your daily recommended intake). Vitamin A is important for preserving good eyesight and for supporting your immune system. It has antioxidant properties, which—stick with us—protect your body from free radical damage and chronic disease! Sound like something you’d want to toss onto your already-nearly-perfect salad? It’s certainly worth roasting these copper-colored nuggets for their nutritional value anytime you can.
Maple + Bourbon?
Listen to the brilliant mix of ingredients in our Maple Bourbon Vinaigrette. First, we start with maple syrup, then add brown sugar, some spices like onion and garlic, and then make the vinaigrette magic happen with cider vinegar and soybean oil. But we’re not done! To top it off, we add salted bourbon whiskey to give it a touch of tart smokiness. We know you’ll appreciate this vinaigrette mix as much as we do!
