Kale and Sweet Potato Salad

Eat the most important colours of the rainbow! This kale and sweet potato salad is both healthy and delicious!
This is honestly my favourite dish to make - I make it weekly, especially since the kale is freshly picked from my nonna's garden. While I have a general base for the recipe, I usually add in whatever extra vegetables that I have in the fridge or out in the garden. I should note that since the kale leaves are tough, you don't need to worry about the leaves wilting too much if you have leftovers! (I think it tastes even better!). This is a great meal if you're on the elimination diet (simply pass on the sheep feta, and swap it for avocado!).
