From The Young Forever Cookbook

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 0.5-1 jalapeno pepper, seeded
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.25 tsp kosher salt
  • 1-2 tbsp water
  • 4 large pasture-raised organic eggs
  • 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 0.5 cup frozen edamame, thawed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 0.5 cup Pickled Red Onions
  • 8 oz soft goat cheese

Instructions

  1. For the coconut bacon: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, stir together the coconut aminos, maple syrup, and paprika. Add the coconut flakes and gently toss to combine. Spread on the baking sheet and bake, stirring every 5 minutes, for 15 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool completely. The bacon bits can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  2. For the sweet potato: Increase the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato with the olive oil and salt. Transfer to the sheet and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until soft and golden.
  3. For the dressing: Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blitz until smooth, adding more water if necessary.
  4. For the eggs: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently add the eggs and cook for 8 minutes. Remove and place in ice water. When cool, peel and halve the eggs.
  5. To assemble the salad: Fill four bowls with the romaine lettuce. Divide the edamame, tomatoes, pickled onions, and sweet potato among the bowls. Top each with two hard-boiled egg halves and sprinkle some coconut bacon and crumbled goat cheese. Drizzle with the dressing and serve.
