LENTIL SALAD WITH ROASTED SWEET POTATOES AND QUESO FRESCO
From about.com, posting for ZWT 7, South America. This combines two of my favorite things, lentils and sweet potatoes! Recipe is credited to Marian Blazes, who says "Toss it all together and serve warm, adding a few baby spinach leaves for something green. This is a healthful salad that everyone will enjoy. " Servings are a guess...please help me if this needs correcting!
