Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients
  

Salad

  • 1 medium sweet potato, cubed
  • 1 medium beet, cubed
  • 1 medium red onion, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander (optional)
  • 1 cup raw walnuts , roughly chopped (or sub with seeds to make it nut-free)
  • 4 cups greens of choice (we use arugula)
  • cup crumbled feta cheese (use vegan if needed)

Balsamic Vinaigrette

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Layer a piece of parchment paper onto a baking sheet. Add the cubed sweet potato, beet, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, cinnamon (optional), and ground coriander (optional). Toss to combine and bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  • After 30 minutes, take the vegetables out of the oven and add to them the chopped walnuts. Bake for 10 more minutes, or until the walnuts are toasted, and the vegetables are soft. Set aside to cool.
  • In the meantime, prepare the dressing. To a small bowl, add all of the ingredients- olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey or maple syrup, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • To a salad plate, add your greens of choice and toss with ⅔ of the dressing. Add the cooled vegetables and walnuts on top, followed by the crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle the remaining dressing all over and serve right away!
