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.
oh yeah…this is my kind of comfort food! Would you come pick us up in the ARK, rain is forecasted everyday for the next week!
This sounds really interesting. We eat a lot of sweet potatoes, but I usually just roast them in the oven in olive oil or stick them on the grill. I'd like to try this!
Yummo! Looks so good!! 🙂
This looks divine!
Wow, this recipe really caught me eye! I love sweet potatoes and cranberries and well, about everything in this! I really want to try this one out!
Blessings, Leslie
yuuuuuummmm!
And super healthy, I'm in. I'm going to make this next week.
This looks yummy and I love sweet potatoes! We have them 3-5 times a week.
I love anything with roasted vegetables. Throw in some crunchy things like you've done and Yum! Thanks for sharing.
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
YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!! That sounds amazing. Thanks for posting this.
Just posted it to my FB page:) https://www.facebook.com/shelaghduffett.art
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!
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 🙂
Oh yeah — great recipe for a drab, rainy day (which it is here too, btw).
Another one that looks delicious! I'm stealing it and emailing it to my kids. Thanks!
OMG. I must have this. And as soon as possible. Sounds divine.
This looks delicious. thanks for the recipe. I will try it — healthy!
Oh, my that looks good. Thanks for sharing.
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

This sounds so yummy. Sweet potatoes and cranberries with pecans. I am going to make this. Do you use this salad for your meal or serve it as a side? The photo is mouth watering!
OK I'll try it.
I'm definitely going to try this when I get back home. Don is sick of all the rain, too. Enough already!
