- Place sweet potato slices on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook, in batches if necessary, 12 to 15 minutes, turning once, until tender and grill marks form. Transfer to cutting board; let stand 5 to 7 minutes or until cool enough to handle. Cut into bite-size (3/4-inch) pieces.
- Meanwhile, in large bowl, mix 1/2 cup olive oil, the vinegar, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the black pepper. Add kale; toss to coat. Transfer to serving platter. Top with grilled sweet potatoes, prosciutto and cheese.
