Directions
  1. To make Sweet Potato Salad: Add sweet potatoes, onion, bell peppers, and cilantro to a 6-quart slow cooker and give vegetables a quick stir to combine. Mix chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and chipotle powder in a small dish.
  2. Drizzle oil over vegetables and then sprinkle spice mixture over them. Stir well until vegetables are evenly coated and then cover slow cooker.
  3. Cook on High for 2 hours or on Low for 3 to 3K hours, or until sweet potatoes are fork-tender but not mushy. Stir in kale during last 30 minutes of cooking.
  4. To make Lime Vinaigrette: Combine oil, lime juice, cilantro, vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, salt, ground coriander, and black pepper in a small bowl or jar, or a salad dressing container if you’re doubling ingredients. Shake to combine. Store extra vinaigrette in refrigerator for up to 7 days.
  5. Remove vegetables from slow cooker. Chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour before combining with lime vinaigrette if you’re serving the salad cold, or combine immediately if serving warm.
