Description
A cozy salad that balances caramelized sweet potatoes with tangy feta, crunchy walnuts, and peppery mixed greens.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups mixed greens
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
- Balsamic vinaigrette for dressing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dice the sweet potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces so they roast evenly. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Spread the coated sweet potato pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet. Avoid crowding the pan so they brown instead of steam.
- Roast the sweet potatoes in the prepared oven for about 25–30 minutes, or until tender with golden, caramelized edges. Toss once halfway through cooking.
- Combine in a large bowl the mixed greens, warm roasted sweet potatoes, thinly sliced red onion, crumbled feta, and chopped walnuts. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette and toss gently to coat. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For extra crunch, toast the walnuts before adding them to the salad. Keep the dressing separate until just before serving to prevent soggy greens.
