Time 50m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 small sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
salt and ground black pepper to taste
⅓ cup cashews
1 (6 ounce) package feta cheese, cubed
1 cup fresh spinach
1 cup arugula
1 cup watercress
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 pinch white sugar
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine sweet potatoes, olive oil, and cumin seeds on a roasting tray, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Spread cashews onto a baking sheet.
  • Roast potatoes in the preheated oven until soft and slightly colored at the edges, 30 to 45 minutes, stirring after 20 minutes.
  • At the same time, toast cashews in the oven until they start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes. Chop when cool enough to handle.
  • Meanwhile, whisk oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper for dressing in a small bowl.
  • Divide feta cheese, spinach, arugula, watercress, and cilantro among 3 plates. Top with warm sweet potatoes and cashews. Pour dressing over top and serve.

This salad was a hit at our summer cookout! The roasted sweet potatoes were perfectly caramelized and the feta added a nice salty tang. I'll definitely be making this again.
