Directions

Wash and chop your kale; rub with olive oil to 'massage'

Chop your sweet potatoes into cubes, spray with olive oil and season with garlic salt and paprika. Roast in the oven at 425 F/ 215 C for 30 minutes.

Toss your chickpeas in a spray of olive oil and season with chilli powder.⁠ Optional: you can use the chickpeas raw or roast them with your sweet potato for some added crunch

Pan sear your protein with your choice of seasonings from above

Whisk or use a food processor to combine olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, nutritional yeast, and salt and pepper

Assemble your salad, drizzle with 1/4 of the salad dressing and top with any other optional extras the pantry holds (capers & red chilli pepper flakes are highly recommended)
