Warm Roasted Garlic and Sweet Potato Salad

A salad for the day when you want something warm, but also, it’s delicious cold as well. ;)

———————————————————————————

Preheat oven to 375

Ingredients

• 2 Medium - Large Sweet Potatoes, cubed. About 5 or so cups.

• 4-5 Cloved garlic, sliced. More if you LOVE garlic

• 2 TBSP Olive Oil

• Sea salt and Fresh Pepper

Roast on a baking sheet for around 30 minutes, stirring a few times. Meanwhile, in your serving bowl whisk together:

• 3 TBSP olive oil

• 2 TBSP apple cider vinegar

• 1 TBSP dijon mustard, or whatever you have at home.

• 1 TBSP honey

When sweet potatoes are crisping on the outside and tender on the inside remove them from the oven and carefully add them to the dressing. Stir to combine, then add:

• 1 small container of spinach, arugula, or other mixed greens. I like a blend of baby kale, spinach, arugula, and beet tops.

Stir it all up and eat it warm! But also, if you want to make it more of a meal try adding:

• Chickpeas

• Lentils

• Seeds like hemp, sunflower, and pumpkin

• Shredded chicken

• Black beans

• Sliced boiled eggs

And MANY more things I am sure.
