Prep Time 27 minutes mins
Cook Time 5 minutes mins
salad:
- 2 cups salad greens I like to combine two different types in my salads for more texture and "lift"
- 1 cup quinoa cooked
- 1 large or 2 small sweet potatoes sliced into thin wedges
- 1 tbsp. avocado oil
- 1 cup fresh blueberries rinsed and dried
- 1/4 cup almonds roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled
balsamic vinaigrette:
- 1 tbsp. honey
- 1/2 tbsp. dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
salad:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut sweet potatoes into thin wedges. Toss with 1 tbsp. of avocado oil plus salt and pepper. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for approximately 15 minutes until they are tender.
Meanwhile cook quinoa according to package directions using water or broth for more flavorful quinoa.
Add greens to a bowl along with cooked quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, blueberries, almonds, and feta.
In a small bowl whisk together the ingredients for the dressing until well combined. Drizzle over the salad and enjoy!
