Immune Boosting Citrus Vinaigrette

1/4 cup fresh raspberries 

1 tablespoon lemon juice (or 1/2 a lemon)

2 teaspoons dijon mustard

2 teaspoons honey

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Fresh ground black pepper

1/2 cup olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 450F/230C line a and rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the dressing ingredients. Orange zest, orange juice, raspberries, lemon juice, mustard, honey, salt, fresh black pepper and olive oil. Notes: You can place all the ingredients into the bowl of a food processor or blender
  3. Whisk all the dressing ingredients until creamy and emulsified. Pour extra dressing into a mason jar with a tight fitting lid and store in the refrigerator.
  4. Peel and dice two medium sweet potatoes into 1 inch cubes and spread them out on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil overtop the sweet potato cubes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Using a spoon or clean hands toss the potatoes to coat and spread out in an even layer and place the pan in the oven. Roast for 15 minutes.
  6. Cut your broccoli into bit size florets, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and set aside.
  7. Wash kale, de-stem and chop, squeeze the lemon overtop and using your hands massage the lemon juice into the leaves to soften them up. 
  8. After 15 minutes, remove your pan from the oven, add tuck broccoli pieces between the sweet potato and roast 10 minutes more.
  9. After 10 minutes remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle frozen corn over and place the pan back in the oven and cook 5 minutes more.
  10. Build your bowl:
  • Begin with a rice base
  • Top with veggies
  • Add protein
  • A drizzle of Immune Boosting Citrus Vinaigrette overtop 
  • Here’s where you let your creativity shine. Finish with a sprinkle of feta or seeds. Maybe a few bright pink sweet and crunchy pickled onions or keep it simple with some creamy avocado. 

However you choose to accessorize your bowl is completely up to you. Enjoy!
