The roasted sweet potato and kale salad is a dish that has been passed down through my family for generations. My great-grandmother, who was a farmer, would often make this salad for her family using the vegetables that she grew in her garden. The salad was a simple, yet hearty dish that was a favorite of my great-grandmother and her family. My grandmother, who also grew up on a farm, continued to make this salad for her family, and she passed the recipe down to my mother. My mother, who is a great cook, has made this salad for me and my siblings since we were children. I always loved the salad, and I would often ask my mother to make it for me. When I went to college, I started to make the salad for myself, and it quickly became one of my favorite dishes. I love the combination of the sweet potatoes, the kale, and the red onion, and I think the salad is a great way to get my daily dose of vegetables. I also love the fact that the salad is so easy to make, and it is a great dish to make for a crowd. I often make the salad for potlucks and parties, and it is always a hit.
