Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 sweet potato, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups spinach leaves
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 25 grams / 0.8 oz feta cheese
  • handful chopped almonds

Honey Lemon Vinaigrette

  • 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Lemon, juiced
  • 1 tsp Honey, sub for maple syrup or brown rice / rice malt syrup
  • Salt + Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 200C / 390F.
  2. Place sweet potato and red onion on a baking tray lined with baking paper and cover with olive oil.  Mix with your hands to ensure all pieces are coated.
  3. Place tray in oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, until sweet potato is cooked through, flipping once half way.
  4. Place honey lemon vinaigrette ingredients in a small jar, mix with a spoon (loosens the honey), then cover and shake until well combined. 
  5. To assemble, place all ingredients into a bowl and drizzle dressing on top, then toss gently.  

Notes

  1. Greens: Feel free to use your favourite lettuce instead of spinach.  
  2. Nuts: If you don't have almonds on hand (or just don't like them), try pine nuts, walnuts or pecans instead.
  3. Dressing:  If honey isn't your thing, you can substitute for maple syrup or brown rice / rice malt syrup OR simply omit altogether if you don't want a sweetener.
