Roasted Sweet Potato Salad with dried cranberries & toasted pecans

 It’s raining again today.
I’m building an Ark, people.
Awesome recipe below… I could inhale this stuff.
I pretty much do.
 Sweet Potato Salad with Toasted Pecans and Dried Cranberries


makes 6 servings
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2 inch cubes
1 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp finely diced sweet red onion
2 tbsp chopped toasted pecans
2 tbsp dried cranberries
1 tbsp minced fresh parsley
1/4 chives chopped small

Dressing

2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp honey
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place diced sweet potatoes on a baking tray and toss with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes or just until fork tender. (Don’t overcook or the salad will be mushy.) Allow to cool slightly.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the dressing. Place potatoes in a medium bowl and stir in the onions, pecans, cranberries and parsley. Drizzle with the dressing and gently stir until coated. Serve warm, room temperature or cold.

  3. I love anything with roasted vegetables. Throw in some crunchy things like you've done and Yum! Thanks for sharing.

  4. Karen, I could also inhale this also, but I have a hard time finding sweet potatoes (yams, yes, but sweet potatoes, no). We are also molding here in the high desert of Utah (very unusual for us). Have a great weekend. Joni

  5. Yum! This looks devine! I really have been liking the idea of swaping my traditional sandwich for a cold salad (like this one) for my "brown bag lunches"!

    I know what you mean…the weather has been quite dreary in Wisconsin too!

  6. Delightfully vegan from the looks of things and sweet potatoes are so good for you! Mouthwatering photo! Thanks for sharing, I am eating dried cranberries as I type 🙂

  7. I find yummy salads so addicting. When I make it, I make a lot and then nibble on it from the fridge until it's gone. LOL
