I have fallen in love with a new dish: it’s a sweet potato salad recipe!
When I first saw the recipe, I honestly didn’t think that I’d love it, but I do! I’m not one to actually crave a salad, but this one I do crave.
The best thing: like the other favorite recipes I post, it’s very simple.
What You will Need:
Mixed greens (I use a package of mixed greens and add more spinach)
Sweet potatoes (I used 2 large sweet potatoes in this recipe)
1 vidalia or red onion
Feta cheese
Olive oil
Dijon mustard
Honey
Red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Peel and cut sweet potatoes.
3. In a mixing bowl, toss sweet potato pieces with 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper and 1 red or vidalia onion cut into wedges.
4. Transfer to a 9×13 baking dish and spread evenly.
5. Roast for 30 min at 350 degrees F and then turn potatoes over and bake 30 more minutes.
6. While potatoes are roasting, put ingredients (1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 3 tablespoons honey, 3/4 cup olive oil, 2 tsp dijon mustard, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper) in a blender or food processor (I put it in my Vita-mix!) and blend thoroughly.
7. Top salad greens and spinach with roasted sweet potatoes and onion. Add feta cheese and dressing.

We ate a piece of baked chicken along with this delicious sweet potato salad, and it was perfect.
Also, as my husband pointed out, the roasted sweet potatoes would be marvelous by themselves (although I’d still probably sprinkle a little feta cheese on mine)!
Enjoy!
