Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
  • 4 cups mixed greens (optional base)
  • For the Maple-Tahini Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2–4 tablespoons warm water, to thin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper on the prepared baking sheet. Spread them into a single layer.
  3. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized. Let them cool slightly.
  4. While the potatoes roast, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, maple syrup, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and salt. Add warm water one tablespoon at a time until the dressing reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the slightly cooled roasted sweet potatoes, toasted walnuts, and pomegranate seeds. If using mixed greens, add them now.
  6. Drizzle the maple-tahini dressing over the salad ingredients. Gently toss to coat everything evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top just before serving.

Notes

  • Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes until fragrant to deepen their flavor.
  • You can roast this salad ahead of time and assemble it just before serving for easy meal prep.
  • For a different flavor, substitute goat cheese for feta or use pecans instead of walnuts.
