Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens (e.g., arugula, spinach, or lettuce)
  • 1⁄2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1⁄4 cup toasted pecans, roughly chopped
  • 1⁄4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place diced sweet potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Roast sweet potatoes in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until tender and slightly golden, turning halfway through the cooking time. Remove and let them cool slightly.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste to prepare the dressing.
  5. In a large salad bowl, combine mixed salad greens, roasted sweet potatoes, feta cheese, pecans, cranberries, red onion, and avocado slices.
  6. Drizzle the prepared honey mustard dressing over the salad. Toss gently to combine well.
  7. Serve immediately or chill for about 15 minutes to allow flavors to blend further.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, omit the feta cheese.
  • Feel free to add other seasonal vegetables or nuts based on preference.
  • This salad can be made ahead of time, but it is best served fresh.
