Start by preparing the sweet potatoes. I like to air fry these, however you can also roast them in the oven. Start by removing the skin and then chopping the sweet potatoes into bite size pieces. Place them in the air fryer and lightly spray with EVOO and season with salt and pepper. Air fry for 20 minutes at 350F, stopping and shaking halfway through.

While the sweet potatoes are baking. Prepare the kale by massaging it with EVOO, salt and pepper. Don’t skip this step, it’s extremely important to make the kale taste amazing. Simply, add clean kale to a bowl with EVOO, salt and pepper. Then, using your hands really get in there and massage the kale leaves for 2 minutes or until the leaves are soft and tender. Set aside.

Next, prepare the dressing by combining all the ingredients together in a blender or bowl and either blend on high speed for a minute or mix with a whisk for 2-3 minutes or until ingredients are well combined. Set dressing aside.

Now assemble the salad. On top of the massaged kale, add on the thinly sliced honey crisp apples, air fried sweet potatoes, sliced red grapes, crushed pecans, dried cranberries, goat cheese, and hemp hearts. Drizzle with the homemade honey mustard and enjoy!
