Arugula Salad With Sweet Potatoes And Feta Recipes

SWEET POTATO AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• Toss the sweet potatoes in a large bowl with the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Stir the potatoes and continue to bake until fork-tender, an additional 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely.
• In a large bowl, combine the cooled sweet potatoes, arugula and scallions. In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the lemon juice and Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Just before serving, toss the dressing with the sweet potato and arugula mixture to coat.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spread the potatoes in an even layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top of the potatoes and season them with a few pinches each of salt and pepper. Stir the potatoes around to coat them evenly in the oil. Roast the potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are fork tender. Remove them from the oven and cool them in the pan while you prepare the rest of the salad.
• In a small bowl, whisk the mustard and lemon juice with 3 tablespoons of olive oil until combined. Season the dressing with a generous pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper.
• In a large bowl, toss the arugula, green onion, parsley, and potatoes together. Add two tablespoons of the dressing to the bowl and gently toss it with the greens and potatoes until they are evenly coated. Divide the salad between two plates and garnish with the walnuts and feta cheese.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO SALAD WITH FETA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine sweet potatoes, olive oil, and cumin seeds on a roasting tray, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Spread cashews onto a baking sheet.
• Roast potatoes in the preheated oven until soft and slightly colored at the edges, 30 to 45 minutes, stirring after 20 minutes.
• At the same time, toast cashews in the oven until they start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes. Chop when cool enough to handle.
• Meanwhile, whisk oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper for dressing in a small bowl.
• Divide feta cheese, spinach, arugula, watercress, and cilantro among 3 plates. Top with warm sweet potatoes and cashews. Pour dressing over top and serve.
