Notes
To make prep time faster, buy pre-cut sweet potatoes, either fresh or frozen. You can usually find these in the refrigerated produce aisle or freezer aisle of most grocery stores.
You can also find pre-cooked packaged beets and candied pecans in many grocery stores.
Sub kale, romaine or spinach for arugula, or use a blend.
You can prep the ingredients except for the apple ahead of time. Store in individual containers in your fridge, and assemble before serving.
