Mixed Greens

Potato Gratin
- Heat the oil over medium heat, then sauté the onions and garlic until they become translucent and fragrant. Stir in the cinnamon season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Blend the cashews, nutritional yeast, and 2 tbsp coconut milk in a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Move on to the build of the gratin; spray or brush oil on an oven-proof dish. Start layering some cashew cream first, then sweet potatoes, onion mixture and more cashew cream. Repeat until you’ve used all the sweet potatoes; season with salt and pepper every two layers.
- Mix coconut, soymilk, chopped oregano, and salt in a stainless-steel bowl. Pour the mixture over the gratin. Cook in a 400 degrees F oven for about 35 min. Switch the oven to the broiler for 2 minutes for a nice crispy top.
- Place a piece of sweet potato gratin into each of 4 gorgeous plates. Add some dressing to the salad and mix well. Place a good amount beside each piece of gratin. You can add a bit of black pepper. Enjoy!
