WILTED SPINACH SALAD WITH ROASTED KUMARA (SWEET POTATO)



Wilted Spinach Salad With Roasted Kumara (Sweet Potato) image

My daughter made me this salad once. She said that it was from the Meal-in-a-minute TV advert but this version doesn't use any Watties products. (Not that there is anything wrong with bottled sauces but I prefer to make my own dressing) This is a nice easy recipe that makes a good side dish to some steamed fish.

  • Scrub the sweet potatoes well: Before roasting, scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly with a vegetable brush to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork: This will help the steam escape and prevent the sweet potatoes from bursting.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a slightly crispy exterior.
  • Toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil and spices: This will help them to brown and develop flavor.
  • Add a splash of vinegar to the spinach: This will help to brighten the flavor and prevent the spinach from becoming slimy.
  • Wilt the spinach quickly: Overcooked spinach will become limp and lose its nutrients.
  • Serve the sweet potatoes and spinach immediately: This is when they are at their best.
