For the salad:
- 1 bunch kale, chopped
- 1 ripe avocado, pitted and peeled
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 garlic clove, minced Salt and pepper to taste
For the sweet potato fries:
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder

- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the kale with half of the avocado, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Massage the dressing into the kale until it softens slightly.
- In a separate bowl, toss the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- While the fries are baking, mash the remaining avocado with a fork and season with salt and pepper.

Notes
- You can add other toppings to the salad, such as cherry tomatoes, chopped nuts, or grilled chicken.
- For extra crispy sweet potato fries, toss them in cornstarch before baking.
- If you prefer a creamier dressing, add a dollop of plain yogurt or mayonnaise.
