Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Wild rice** See Note
  • 1 Sweet potato - chopped
  • 3 tbsp Avocado Oil or other neutral oil
  • 5-6 Large kale leaves
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 Small Apple - sliced or diced
  • 2 Salmon Filets
  • 2-4 oz Goat Cheese
  • 2 tbsp Pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 tsp Red chili flakes (optional)
  • Hot honey (optional)

Balsamic Vinaigrette

  • 4 oz Olive oil
  • 2 oz Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt

Instructions

  • Start by prepping your wild rice according to the package instructions.
  • Chop your sweet potato into your desired shape. I cut mine into round slices but you can also slice into cubes. Toss with one tablespoon of avocado oil and sea salt to taste. Air fry at 375 for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Alternatively roast at 400 for 25-35 minutes to desired doneness.
  • De-stem your kale and finely chop. Massage with 2 tsp of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. Set aside.
  • Thinly slice your apples or chop into cubes. Set aside.
  • Make dressing by combining the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, and sea salt in a mason jar with a lid and shake well to combine.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil over medium heat. Once oil hot place salmon skin side up in the skillet and sear for 3 minutes and then flip. Cook to desired done-ness (this will depend on thickness of the filet and whether you prefer salmon medium or well).
  • Assemble your salad by placing salmon, apples, sweet potatoes, wild rice, goat cheese, and pumpkin seeds over the bed of massaged kale. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette and optionally red pepper flakes, and hot honey.

Notes

**Note - Use 1/2 cup of wild rice and cook according to the instruction on the package.
