Earthy sweet potatoes meet vibrant kale in this symphony of flavors. Caramelized onions add a touch of sweetness, while a bright red wine vinaigrette ties it all together. It's a surprisingly delightful and healthy dish that's perfect as a side or a light meal.

For a richer flavor, try roasting the sweet potatoes with a drizzle of maple syrup along with the olive oil.
Massaging the kale with a little olive oil and lemon juice before adding it to the skillet can help tenderize it.
Toasted pecans or walnuts would make a wonderful addition to this salad for added crunch and nutty flavor.
Feel free to substitute other leafy greens like spinach or chard for the kale. Cooking times may vary slightly.
