Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
- 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp. salt divided
- 6 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 small head of radicchio finely chopped
- 6 oz. Brussels sprouts finely chopped or shaved on a mandoline
- 1 apple cored and finely chopped (I like Honey Crisp)
- 1 15-oz. can navy beans, rinsed and drained (sub chickpeas)
- 1/2 pecan halves roughly chopped
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: pomegranate arils
- *White Balsamic Dressing*
- 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh shallots
- 3 Tbsp. white balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. honey
- 2 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp. each salt and black pepper
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss sweet potatoes in oil and 1/4 tsp salt; spread in an even layer on a baking sheet. Bake until tender and browned, tossing halfway through, about 35 minutes. Set aside to slightly cool.
- Meanwhile, prepare dressing by combining shallots, vinegar, honey, Dijon, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir with a whisk, and let sit 10 minutes. Gradually stream in olive oil, stirring continuously with a whisk, until combined.
- Combine romaine, radicchio, Brussels, apple, beans, and sweet potatoes in a large bowl; toss with remaining 1/4 tsp salt. Add dressing and toss to combine. Arrange on a serving platter, and top with pecans, cheese, and pomegranate arils. Serve immediately.
