Kale Sweet Potato and Sausage Salad! A warm-ish salad that’s so delicious and filling. Kale, spinach, chicken sausage, roasted sweet potato, bell peppers and more! You have to try this salad!

I’m back with another delicious salad! If you’re a chicken sausage and feta lover, this one’s for you! I love how hearty, filling and nutritious this salad is. Gone are the days when salads would be boring and plain. These days, add a roasted vegetable, protein, something crunchy and some greens and you’re in business!

Kale Sweet Potato and Sausage Salad

I’ve been on a sweet potato kick and this salad just hit the spot! Add quinoa or brown rice. Add the crumbled feta cheese or skip it. You can add any of your favorite vegetables: cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions. I think they would all work great in this salad. 

Make it in advance! Want to meal prep? Cook and bake the sweet potato and sausages in advance. Buy the frozen brown rice from Trader Joe’s. Makes putting the salad together very easy!

I think this might be my current fave. Knowing me, I will make this salad every day until I’m sick of it. Ha ha! Anyone else do this? If you try this salad, let me know what you think!
