Prepare the dressing: In a blender, whisk blend the nutritional yeast, water, apple cider vinegar, tamari, garlic cloves until well combined. Add the oil gradually until emulsified.
Assemble the salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the massaged kale, chopped romaine lettuce, diced red bell pepper, chopped Medjool dates, crumbled feta cheese, and sunflower seeds.
Add the roasted sweet potatoes: Once the sweet potatoes have cooled slightly, add them to the salad bowl.
Toss with dressing: Drizzle the Hollyhock Nutritional Yeast Dressing. Toss the salad gently until everything is well coated with the dressing.
