  • 2 cups diced sweet potatoes (8 ounces)
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Salad

  • 6 cups mixed greens, roughly chopped (180 grams)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded chicken (6 ounces)
  • 1 cup diced apple (100 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds/pepitas (roasted)
  • 1/3 cup goat cheese (1.5 ounces)

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup orange vinaigrette

Instructions

  1. Roast your potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper on the baking sheet. Spread evenly and roast for 25-35 minutes until the potatoes are browned and fork-tender.
  2. Make the dressing: While the potatoes roast, prepare the orange vinaigrette by mixing the ingredients thoroughly in a jar. Adjust the seasoning to taste for a balanced tangy flavor.
  3. Prep salad ingredients: Roughly chop the mixed greens and dice the apples into bite-sized pieces, ensuring all ingredients are ready for assembly.
  4. Assemble the salad: Once the sweet potatoes have roasted and cooled slightly, combine the mixed greens, shredded chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, diced apples, goat cheese, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a large salad or mixing bowl. Pour the orange vinaigrette over the salad and toss well to evenly coat all ingredients.
  5. Enjoy: Serve immediately for the freshest taste, enjoying the delightful combination of flavors and textures in this wholesome fall salad.
