- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fully cooked through. Stir once halfway.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add the kale and drizzle over the olive oil. Using your hands, massage the kale for 1 - 2 minutes to soften it.
- Add the dressing ingredients to a separate medium bowl. Peel the roasted garlic cloves and mash them into the bowl.
- When the potatoes have cooled, add them to the salad bowl along with the chickpeas, avocado, and dressing.
- Toss everything to coat. Sprinkle some roasted almonds on top, and enjoy!
Notes
- * We used top and bottom heating (not fan-assisted/convection).
Storage
- Best if enjoyed immediately.
- Store the salad separately from the dressing in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Ideally, add the avocado only when ready to enjoy to avoid browning.

Discussion & Rating
Thank you for this delicious recipe! Didn't know what to expect from kale but it was very pleasant to eat prepared in this way. Leftovers were even more delicious the following day! Next time, I'll double or triple the mint because I love it and can never have enough, haha!
Nice flavors but needs more textural variation. I added sunflower seeds on top of the nuts but that was still not enough. to offset the mushiness. I would suggest swapping out some of the kale and/or roasted onion for raw radicchio (in addition to sunflower seeds!) I think that would add a nice level of crunch. Also I think you could easily increase the mint by at least half if you want a more flavorful dressing, I used 6 leaves and it was good but understated.
Absolutely fabulous!
Simply fabulous!! The dressing is on point, and this being my first time massaging kale I was really impressed with the results. I swapped almonds for walnuts because it's what I had. The taste was even better the second day and the textures held up well!
Made this for dinner tonight and it was so good! Nutritious and satisfying. The mint adds such a fresh touch. Will be making again. Thank you for the recipe 🙏
So good, such a wonderful blend of flavors! Massaging the kale worked, and instead of avocado I added a snack-size guacamole to the dressing. The lemon in the dressing will keep the guac from browning. This is definitely a keeper!
Love this 😍
Very yummy, quick to prepare and healthy - what can you ask more?!
My Mother and I just made this today. Absolutely delicious! We aren’t vegan so we enjoyed it with an egg on the side with some Labneh and flatbread. Well done Pick up Limes! You’ve done it again💕
I made this earlier this week and it was so good that I’m going to make it again today! I already had some roasted sweet potatoes in my fridge, so I quick pickled the onions and they were great on this salad. I agree with others, the dressing is great!
My husband and I really enjoyed this salad! Such a nice combination of flavors and textures. And the sweet potato and chickpeas elevate the salad to a filling meal.
I am also getting excited to learn more salad dressings from you - this one was really tasty!
I made this for dinner tonight and it was Fantastic. I would absolutely make this again. I could see this being a new staple in our house.
I absolutely loved it & I know everyone else will too!
Thank you so much for your hard work in this delightful treat.
This was amazing, even my husband who doesn’t like kale loved this recipe! I didn’t have red onion or maple syrup but yellow onion and agave worked perfectly fine. So much fiber and a kick of protein from the chickpeas makes this salad a winner!
Delicious! I’ve never massaged kale before, but wow it makes such a difference! Thanks PUL for great recipes plus the cooking tips!
Made this for dinner last night. Very good! Light and filling. Perfect for summer/spring. Had to share this recipe with my family.
My favorite
Made this for a work luncheon today with mostly carnivores who do not like kale and they loved it!! This was delicious and it will become a regular in our home!
What kind of kale did you use?
Love your recipes 💕
Thanks
So good!
Love the salad, however I didn’t have chickpeas, so I used black beans instead.
This salad was absolutely delicious and easy to make. I separated the trey bake, kale, and dressing into separate containers so I could take it to work for lunch the next 3 days. Worked well.
The best salad I’ve ever eaten! Thank you for this recipe 🤩
I have never eaten a raw kale until now and I was afraid at first, but the taste is incredible.
My only problem is that i chopped the kale too large, and its takes some time to chew it :D
Nice to have a delicious kale salad without dried cranberries in the recipe! Love the fresh mint dressing! Brilliant!
Oh my goodness, sooo good and balanced! I would just say it needs more dressing. Going to double up on the dressing to add as needed next time!
Great salad! Super nutritious and very yummy! I'm not vinaigrette person but this one is fantastic!
I will definitely be making it again. It's a great way to eat kale and get a good source of iron!
Thank you PUL. 😍😍
Incredibly tasty!!! This is my first recipe on this app, and it was easy, nutritious and absolutely delightful💕
If I had to describe this dish in one word it would be “WOW”. Such a great combination of flavor and texture. The combination of using the sauce to flavor the sweet potato and tofu pre-bake plus the dressing to top the salad was delicious.
Will definitely add this into my regular rotation.
Fantastic, perfect as a dinner after the gym ✌🏼
So good!!!!!!
Super easy to put together, and I LOVE the red onions and roasted garlic in this. The dressing was a little sharp for me, so I may add some tahini and decrease the vinegar slightly next time.
I was worried that the leftovers wouldn’t keep because I had mixed everything together, but they were still good the next day!
Tasty
So simple yet so rich in flavour (and color). ❤
Wow! I did not expect it to taste that good because it's kale 😅. I am from Philippines and the ingredients in this recipe are not staples in our country, which is why there were a few things that I did not expect from this dish. The sweet potatoes - which are super delicious I could eat them all by themselves - and the sauce are the best about this dish, for me. I realized that I did not make enough after I had finished a bowl of this dish by myself. Can't wait to make it again and bring it to work 😍.
So good! The addition of avocados is just, chef's kiss 🥗
I absolutely loved this salad. I had some leftover vegan hoisin duck and I mixed it with the salad and it paired so so well !! Will definitely make it again.
Made this a few times over the last weeks and it is amazing! I used pine nuts this time, also a great combo. Perfect healthy meal to take to work :)
This was so delicious :) !
Loved it! Kale is so boring to eat but you just know the best way to make it interesting!!!!
This salad is by far my favourite dish ❤️ love it
For as simple as this is, it is very tasty! Next time I’ll roast the chickpeas as well.
Light but also comforting. A delightful combo!
Very savory, I love it ! I added a granny apple, just because I add granny apples to all my salad recipe haha
This was delicious- lots of flavor & texture, plus easy to make. Added some pomegranate seeds, pumpkin & sunflower seeds and was perfect!
Love this recipe, easy and delicious. Thanks Pick up Limes
