A vibrant and flavorful sweet potato salad with a unique dressing, inspired by global travels and culinary adventures.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper (any color), diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • For the Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss the sweet potato cubes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through. Let them cool slightly.
  4. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, honey or maple syrup, Dijon mustard, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, red onion, bell pepper, and cilantro.
  6. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients.
  7. If using, sprinkle with chopped pecans or walnuts before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dressing.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like corn, black beans, or avocado.
  • This salad can be served warm or chilled.
