This salad works well in winter because roasted sweet potatoes hold their texture and flavour even after resting. It can be assembled partially in advance and dressed just before serving.
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed Olive oil Salt and black pepper ½ tsp smoked paprika or cumin Mixed greens or rocket Toasted walnuts or pumpkin seeds Simple lemon and olive oil dressing
Roast sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt and spice until tender and lightly caramelised.
Cool completely so they do not soften the greens.
Toss sweet potatoes with greens and nuts in a large bowl.
Add dressing just before serving and mix gently.
