This Goat Cheese and Sweet Potato Salad is a vibrant mix of roasted sweet potatoes, creamy goat cheese, crisp greens, toasted nuts, and a tangy-sweet vinaigrette—perfect for a hearty side or a satisfying main course.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for roasting)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 5 oz mixed salad greens (arugula, spinach, baby kale, etc.)
  • 1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup toasted pecans or walnuts
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries or pomegranate seeds
  • For the dressing:
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25–30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, combine salad greens, red onions, toasted nuts, and cranberries.
  4. Add the slightly cooled sweet potatoes and toss with dressing.
  5. Top with crumbled goat cheese and give a gentle final toss before serving.

Notes

  • Use feta cheese instead of goat cheese for a sharper flavor.
  • Add cooked quinoa or farro for a grain-based variation.
  • Roasted beets, apples, or avocado make great seasonal additions.
  • Toast nuts in a dry skillet for a few minutes to enhance flavor.
