Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1 cup arugula, loosely packed

½ cup red onion, thinly sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup feta cheese, crumbled

¼ cup toasted walnuts, roughly chopped

3 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Juice of 1 lemon

Optional: Fresh herbs (such as basil or mint) for garnish

Instructions
 

Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for about 25-30 minutes or until tender and caramelized, flipping halfway through.

    Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and lemon juice until well combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

      Assemble the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, chopped spinach, arugula, red onion, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and toasted walnuts.

        Drizzle with Dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

          Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual bowls. Garnish with fresh herbs, if using, and serve immediately.
