- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 4 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, spinach, or kale)
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup toasted walnuts or pecans
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the cubed sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder, and toss to coat evenly.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly crispy at the edges, flipping halfway through.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- In a large bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, mixed greens, feta cheese, walnuts, cranberries, and red onion.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- You can substitute the feta with goat cheese or omit it for a dairy-free version.
- Add grilled chicken or chickpeas to make this salad a more filling meal.
- This salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but it’s best served fresh.
