A comforting and flavorful fall salad featuring roasted sweet potatoes, tangy cranberries, creamy feta, and a Maple Dijon Dressing. Perfect for gatherings or a wholesome meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 5 cups mixed greens (arugula and spinach blend)
  • 1/2 cup pecans, toasted
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for dressing)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. Roast the sweet potatoes for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized. Let them cool for 5 minutes before adding to the salad.
  4. Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth and emulsified.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, combine mixed greens, roasted sweet potatoes, toasted pecans, dried cranberries, and crumbled feta cheese.
  7. Drizzle the Maple Dijon Dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
  8. Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with extra cranberries or pecans if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

[‘Spread sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even roasting.’, ‘Toast pecans carefully to avoid burning.’, ‘Adjust the dressing seasoning to taste—add more maple syrup for sweetness or Dijon mustard for tang.’, ‘Let roasted sweet potatoes cool slightly before adding to the salad to prevent wilting the greens.’]
