A nutritious and flavorful salad combining sweet potatoes and quinoa, perfect for a healthy meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups water or vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, cook the quinoa. In a medium saucepan, bring the water or vegetable broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, cooked quinoa, chopped parsley, and chopped mint. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to combine.
  5. If using, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, omit the feta cheese.
  • This salad can be served warm or cold.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
