This vegetarian salad combines warm and cold, spring and summer, orange and green. If you're not a fan of goat cheese, feta would make a nice addition.
Sweet potato salad
Ingredients:
- 3 small sweet potatoes
- Mixed salad greens (ours had kale, spinach and baby chard)
- Goat cheese
- Olive oil
- Balsamic vinegar
- Salt, pepper and garlic powder
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Wash the sweet potatoes and cut them into approximately 1/2-inch wide strips.
- In a small bowl, coat the sweet potato pieces with olive oil and a touch of salt. Spread them out on a sheet pan and bake for about 20 minutes, while you prepare the rest of the salad and dressing.
- Combine the salad greens with crumbled goat cheese. If making a large salad, you may find it useful to do two layers of lettuce and cheese.
- Mix four tablespoons olive oil with two tablespoons balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir well.
- Plate the greens, top with roasted sweet potato and drizzle on the vinaigrette.
