- 1 cup diced red onion
- 1 red bell pepper, cored and sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, cored and diced
- 1⁄2 cup roughly chopped cilantro, loosely packed
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1⁄4 tsp salt, or to taste
- 1⁄4 tsp chipotle chili powder, or to taste
- 1 Tbsp olive oil, or more to coat
- 1 cup chopped kale
Lime Vinaigrette
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 Tbsp chopped cilantro
- 1 1⁄2 tsp apple cider vinegar

Directions
- 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.
- Drizzle oil over vegetables and then sprinkle spice mixture over them. Stir well until vegetables are evenly coated and then cover slow cooker.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
