Step-by-Step: Avocado Caesar Salad with Purple Sweet Potato Fries
- Purple Sweet Potato Fries. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Toss the purple sweet potato fries with the avocado oil and seasonings. Roast in the oven for 20–25 minutes, tossing halfway for even cooking.
- Avocado Caesar Dressing. Add all of the dressing ingredients to a high-speed blender, food processor, or use an immersion blender. Blend until creamy, adding a little extra water if needed to achieve a smooth yet thick consistency. Refrigerate until ready to toss with the kale.
- Kale. Remove the large stems from the pre-washed kale and roughly chop or tear the leaves. Add to a large mixing bowl, squeeze over the fresh lemon juice, and massage with clean hands for at least 2 minutes to soften.
- Toss the Salad. To the massaged kale bowl, add the avocado Caesar dressing and toss until fully coated.
- Serve. Divide the salad and purple sweet potato fries between bowls. Top the salad with the remaining cubed avocado and pumpkin seeds. Serve with your choice of protein and enjoy!
