August 29, 2011 By Kristen Feola

Sweet Asian Salad

 

Sweet Asian Salad

This salad is bursting with flavor and nutrients! Take a look at a few of the benefits of the ingredients:
Sweet potatoes - Very, very high in vitamin A, which is best known for supporting healthy vision. Rich in beta-carotene. Can help improve blood sugar regulation (even for people with diabetes).
Parsnips - Excellent source of vitamin C. High in fiber.Rich in folic acid.
Kale- Extremely high in vitamin K. Contains 45+ flavanoids (powerful antioxidants that fight aging and prevent disease). Considered to be one of the healthiest vegetables because of its superb nutritional profile.

Course Salad
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups shredded sweet potato, peeled (about 1 small potato)
  • 2 cups shredded parsnips, peeled (about 3 parsnips)
  • 2 cups chopped kale, ribs and stems removed, lightly packed
  • ¼ cup diced red onion
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or soy sauce alternative see Recipe Noes
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened pineapple juice
  • 1 tablespoons sliced almonds
  • 1 tablespoon chopped pecans
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger or ½ teaspoon dried ginger
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley, lightly packed or 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Instructions
 

  • Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Toss well to coat. Chill in refrigerator for about 1 hour.
  • Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1/2 cup)

Notes

  • Substitute fresh spinach leaves for kale.
  • If you don't have both almonds and pecans, you can use one or the other. Pine nuts are another tasty option.
  • Use the shredding disc of a food processor to shred the sweet potatoes and parsnips.
  • Parsnips are root vegetables that are related to carrots. Although they are similar, parsnips are paler than carrots, with a somewhat bleached look. They also have a sweeter, stronger taste that is slightly tangy.
  • Bragg’s Liquid Aminos is an alternative to soy sauce that has no added salt or preservatives. It's a certified non-GMO (not genetically modified) liquid protein concentrate, derived from healthy soybeans, that contains 16 essential and non-essential amino acids. Another option is Coconut Aminos.

Could I use orange juice instead of pineapple do you think?

I enjoy the recipes you publish, I’m trying to eat healthier for health reasons and do my best to integrate these recipes into my daily life. I have a question regarding the sweet potato and parsnips, are they cooked or are you adding them to the salad raw? I wasn’t sure, it looks to me as if they are raw.

Thank you!

I’m so glad you found my website, too! Yes, many people want a hard copy of the book, especially for the recipes. That way you can pull it out whenever you need it. And, yes, there are color photos of some of the recipes (not all). I pray the book is a blessing to you! You can order it directly from my website.

girl reading bible“Before you pray, bow quietly before God, just to remember and realize who He is, how near He is, how certainly He can and will help. Just be still before Him, and allow His Holy Spirit to waken and stir in your soul the childlike disposition of absolute dependence and confident expectation.” – Andrew Murray
