I love all the yummy veggies in season during the winter months. The vibrant green kale leaves made the perfect bed for this power greens salad. There are so many nutrients in this bowl starting with the kale, then pairing the roasted sweet potato and avocado to provide those healthy fats we all need in our diet. I love the crunch the pepitas bring with the help of that sweet pop of goodness from the pomegranate seeds. The lemon parm vinaigrette takes the flavor in this salad over the top! You can easily add a protein to this salad to make it a complete meal. Salmon or chicken would be great options. Enjoy!
