Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Place cubed sweet potatoes on baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and garlic. Toss to evenly coat. Spread sweet potato cubes evenly around pan and roast for 35-45 minutes, stirring halfway through, until sweet potatoes are fork tender.
While sweet potatoes are cooking, prepare dressing a small bowl. Combine olive oil, WTRMLN WTR, apple cider vinegar, mustard, maple syrup, salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth. In a large bowl, add chopped kale. Pour dressing over the kale and toss to coat, gently massaging the dressing (with hands) into the kale for a few minutes to help soften.
