Roasted Sweet Potato Salad with Feta is a warm, comforting dish combining roasted sweet potatoes, creamy feta, fresh greens, and a tangy dressing, offering the perfect balance of savory, sweet, and refreshing flavors.

Ingredients

  1. 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    Salt and pepper to taste
    4 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, or a combination)
    1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
    1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
    1/4 cup toasted pumpkin seeds or walnuts (optional)
    2 tablespoons olive oil (for the dressing)
    1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
    1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
    1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  1. Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  2. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and golden brown.
  3. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, red onion, and toasted pumpkin seeds or walnuts (if using).
  5. Once the sweet potatoes are roasted and slightly cooled, add them to the salad bowl.
  6. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  7. Sprinkle crumbled feta on top and serve immediately.

Notes

  1. For added crunch, sprinkle toasted pecans, walnuts, or almonds on top.
  2. If you prefer a different cheese, goat cheese, ricotta, or blue cheese can also be used.
  3. This salad is naturally gluten-free, making it perfect for gluten-free diets.
  4. Store the dressing separately to prevent sogginess if making the salad ahead of time.
  5. To make this vegan, omit the feta and use a plant-based cheese alternative.
