Description

This Mason Jar Warm Winter Salad is the perfect meal prep lunch during the colder months!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 16 oz. bag chopped kale
  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 sweet potatoes, chopped (about 3 cups chopped)
  • 4 tbsp chopped pecans
  • 4 chicken apple sausages, diced
  • 4 tbsp gorgonzola cheese*
  • Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp orange juice
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add kale to a large bowl and add in 2 tbsp avocado oil.  Massage the kale to incorporate the oil and to break down the kale a bit.
  • Place chopped sweet potatoes in an air fryer and spray with some oil spray and sprinkle with some salt. Cook at 400 for 10 minutes or until fork tender.
  • Combine all dressing ingredients in a small blender and blend until combined and well seasoned. 
  • Grab 4 32 oz. mason jars. In each mason jar add about 2 tbsp of dressing, followed by 1 tbsp chopped pecans, 1 chopped chicken apple sausage, ½ cup sweet potatoes, gorgonzola cheese, then fill the rest with the massaged kale.
  • Store them in your fridge until you are ready to eat.
  • When ready to enjoy, preheat a pan over medium heat.  Dump the whole jar of ingredients into the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.

Notes

  • * any cheese you like works!
