Salad Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh herbs (such as parsley, cilantro, and thyme), chopped
- 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into even cubes to ensure they roast evenly.
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil and salt, then spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
- Mix the Salad: Once the sweet potatoes are cooled slightly but still warm, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped fresh herbs, thinly sliced red onion, and fresh lemon juice.
- Toss and Serve: Gently toss all the ingredients together to combine the flavors evenly. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt if needed. Serve the salad warm or chilled as desired.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh herbs with dried herbs if fresh are not available, but use about 1 tablespoon dried.
- This salad can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; bring to room temperature before serving or enjoy cold.
- Add toasted nuts like pecans or walnuts for extra crunch and flavor.
- For a vegan and gluten-free option, ensure olive oil is pure and unflavored.
