Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create your Honey Sweet Potato Summer Salad:
1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: In a bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until well-coated.
3. Bake: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. Make sure to turn them halfway through cooking for even roasting.
4. Make Honey Dressing: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, whisk together the honey and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Adjust sweetness to your taste.
5. Combine Salad Greens: In a large salad bowl, add the mixed salad greens as the base.
6. Add Vegetables: Layer the halved cherry tomatoes and sliced red onion on top of the greens.
7. Add Roasted Sweet Potatoes: Once the sweet potatoes are done, let them cool for a few minutes. Then, add them to the salad bowl.
8. Drizzle Dressing: Pour the honey dressing over the salad. Toss gently to combine everything without bruising the greens.
9. Top with Feta: If using, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top for an extra burst of flavor.
10. Garnish: Add freshly chopped herbs for a touch of color and flavor.
