Why I love Roasted Sweet Potato, Gouda & Kale Salad Recipe 

I love this salad. . . mostly because I adore sweet potatoes so much!  

Oh my. They’re totally my favorite root vegetable ever. If I’m eating our somewhere and they’re on the menu then I have to order them for sure!  

This salad is super healthy for you…if you want to make it even healthier then cut down on the smoked gouda a bit or omit it completely but it is an amazing compliment to the flavors.   

Ingredients in Roasted Sweet Potato, Gouda & Kale Salad Recipe

• Sweet Potatoes: They’re high in fiber and antioxidants, which protect your body from free radical damage and promote a healthy gut and brain. They’re also incredibly rich in beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A to support good vision and your immune system.
• Kale- contains fiber, antioxidants, calcium, vitamins C and K, iron, and a wide range of other nutrients that can help prevent various health problems.
•  Avocados- are a great source of vitamins C, E, K, and B-6, as well as riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium. They also provide lutein, beta-carotene, and omega-3 fatty acids. Although most of the calories in an avocado come from fat, don’t shy away!
• Gouda Cheese- has calcium that helps maintain and build good bone and teeth health. Calcium also helps in lowering cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and blood pressure. In addition, Gouda cheese helps prevent blood clots due to the presence of vitamin K.

• Thyme is packed with vitamin C and is also a good source of vitamin A. If you feel a cold coming on, thyme can help get you back in good health. Another health benefit of thyme: It’s a good source of copper, fiber, iron, and manganese.

It is rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, contains large amounts of antioxidants, strong anti-inflammatory properties, may help prevent strokes, protective against heart disease.
