1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon salt, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

WARM SWEET POTATO SALAD



WARM SWEET POTATO SALAD image

Categories     Salad     Potato     Side     Bake

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 slice ham, 1/2 inch thick (about 8 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Stir together vinegar, maple syrup and mustard. Slowly whisk in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil; set aside. 2. Place sweet potatoes, onion and ham in a large bowl. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; stir until coated. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet; sprinkle with thyme, salt and pepper. Roast at 400 degrees for 45 minutes, stirring halfway through. 3. Remove from oven and place in a large bowl. Stir in spinach and walnuts. Drizzle with maple vinaigrette and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the perfect roasted sweet potatoes: Choose firm and medium-sized sweet potatoes. Wash and scrub them thoroughly, then dry them with a clean kitchen towel. Toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast them in a preheated oven at 425°F for 30-40 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
  • For a creamy and flavorful dressing: Use a good quality mayonnaise. Add some Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice to taste. Season the dressing with salt and pepper.
  • To assemble the salad: Combine the roasted sweet potatoes, arugula, spinach, and red onion in a large bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Top with crumbled bacon, feta cheese, and chopped walnuts.
  • For a vegetarian version: Omit the bacon and feta cheese. Add some roasted chickpeas or black beans instead.
  • For a vegan version: Use a vegan mayonnaise and omit the feta cheese. Add some roasted chickpeas or black beans instead.
