Ingredients
Scale
- 2 small bags of coleslaw mix (about 12 cups)

- 1 ½ cups toasted sliced almonds (or cashews)
- 1 ½ cup dried cranberries (I used Orange Cranberries from Trader Joe’s)
- ¾ cup red onion (finely diced)
- 1 cup sesame sticks (found in the bulk aisle at grocery store – optional)
- 1 ½ cups chopped cilantro
- 1–2 small cans mandarin oranges (drained)
- ¼ cup black sesame seeds (or regular sesame seeds)

- 4 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
- 3–4 cloves garlic (chopped)
- 4 Tbsp. honey or brown sugar
- 4 Tbsp. minced ginger
- 2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- Step 1– Roast the sweet potatoes
Preheat oven to 425°F degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the diced sweet potatoes to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil onto the potatoes, sprinkle salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Pour the sweet potatoes onto the baking sheet in a single layer and bake in the oven for 25–30 minutes. Remove and let cool for a few minutes. - Step 2– Make the dressing
Add all of the dressing ingredients to a small bowl or mason jar and mix well to emulsify. - Step 3– Assemble and dress the salad
Add the massaged kale to a salad bowl or platter, and top with the cooked quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, red onion, pecans, cranberries, and goat cheese. Pour on the dressing, toss lightly, and serve.
