Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce.
- To a medium pot, add 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) water. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, add bulgur. Cover, remove from heat and let stand for 15-16 min, until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Cut sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. To a parchment-lined baking sheet, add sweet potatoes and 1/2 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, if you like, then toss to coat.
- Roast in the middle of the oven for 16-18 min, stirring halfway through, until tender and golden.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Half cucumber lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half moons.
- Zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
- In a large bowl, whisk together lime zest, lime juice and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) olive oil. Add kale and cucumbers. Toss to coat. Set aside.
- In a large non-stick pan, heat 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) olive oil over medium-high.
- When the pan is hot, add beef. Cook for 3-5 min, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.** Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
- Add almonds and garlic. Cook for 2 min, stirring often, until toasted. Season with salt and pepper, if you like.
- Peel, pit, then cut avocado into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Fluff bulgur with a fork. Season with salt and pepper, if you like.
- Add bulgur and sweet potatoes to the large bowl with kale and cucumbers, then toss to combine.
- Divide salad between plates. Top with beef mixture and avocado.
- Squeeze a lime wedge over top.
