Directions
To prepare sweet potatoes:Place a large rimmed baking sheet in a cold oven; preheat to 425°F. Toss potatoes, 2 tablespoons oil, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, cayenne and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until evenly coated. Spread in an even layer on the preheated baking sheet. Roast, stirring once, until browned and tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool to room temperature on the pan, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare dressing:Whisk oil, vinegar, tahini, marmalade, mustard and salt together in a small bowl until combined.(Alternatively, combine in a jar and shake well.)Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
To prepare salad:Combine kale and mint in a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons dressing; massage the leaves until they are softened, about 2 minutes. Add the roasted sweet potatoes, cherries and the remaining dressing; toss to combine. Divide among 4 plates; top with avocado, feta (or goat cheese) and pepitas.
