ROASTED SWEET POTATO SALAD WITH YOGURT HERB DRESSING

This salad is full of flavor and textures. The dressing is delicious, and would be fantastic over any roasted vegetables or as a dip or sandwich spread.

Serves 2

Ingredients:

1 large or 2 medium sweet potatoes, chopped into 1/2 inch cubes

1 tablespoon oil 

Salt

4 cups fresh greens (spinach or iceberg or anything else you have on hand)

1/2 cup toasted almonds (or other nuts), roughly chopped

1/4 cup crumbled feta
 

Dressing:

1 1/2 cups mixed herbs such as basil, parsley, cilantro, dill, chives or green onion 

1/2 cup plain greek yogurt (can use regular yogurt too, the dressing will be slightly thinner)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 large clove garlic

1/2 teaspoon salt

Black pepper, to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 

1. Add sweet potatoes to a baking sheet and toss with oil and a generous sprinkling of salt. Roast for 30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until tender and starting to brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

2. Add all dressing ingredients to a food processor or blender and blend until herbs are finely chopped and the dressing is smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning.

3. Add greens and roasted sweet potatoes to a serving bowl and toss with some of the dressing (you’ll likely have more dressing than you need). Top with almonds, feta and another drizzle of dressing if desired. Serve immediately.
