Chopped Kale Salad w/ Creamy Yogurt Dressing

Before all the holiday cookies and desserts, let’s sneak in some greens.

I’m kind of a sucker for any type of chopped salad. Especially kale, because I hate when you get those giant pieces of kale in a salad, and you can hardly fit it in your mouth, the dressing is swiped all over your face, ugh.  Disaster.  

Well don’t you fret.  No mess here.  All ingredients are relatively the same size, which makes eating this salad a delightful experience.  Is my OCD that obvious?

It’s hard for me not to add sweet potatoes to this recipe.  They’re just so IN right now, and I love the sweet flavor they provide contrasted with the slightly bitter kale.  

Then we go ahead and dress it all up with this creamy (and healthy) yogurt dressing. Don’t be scared.
