Ok, so I fully recognize that many people probably don’t eat salad and fries at the same time as a full meal. I hadn’t either until this recipe came about and now I wonder why I haven’t done this my whole life, especially when you have a dressing right there to dip your fries in!
This dressing is reminiscent of Caesar dressing but diverging slightly because of the creamy, smooth avocado which allows you to reduce the mayo (hello, healthy fats!). You can omit the anchovy paste to make it vegetarian, but if you leave it, it tastes even more like Caesar. Completely up to you!
I did not grow up eating avocados. I can’t remember the first time I had one, but it must have stuck because now I can’t get enough! This salad has tons of healthy, hearty kale coated in that super creamy dressing, Parmesan cheese, avocado chunks and chopped pistachios, which makes it so filling. The perfect salad for those meatless Mondays.
And let’s not forget the sweet potato fries! Baked, not fried, because we are eating a salad, guys. Make sure to start those first so you have hot, crunchy fries and a perfectly crisp salad.
You can get your sweet potato fries prepped and in the oven, make your salad dressing and then relax until dinner because this is the easiest, quickest crowd pleaser! Just the kind of salad I can get behind during a busy week.
