Smak Dab Mustard just released their seasonal Cranberry Wine mustard and it was the perfect pairing for this dish. I love eating salads all year long, so I love ingredients that are in season. Right now, sweet potatoes are my go-to’s since they can be used in so many different ways…not to mention they are so filling.
The Cranberry Wine Mustard went so well with the peppery arugula, salty Feta Cheese and the golden Roasted Sweet Potato. I topped it off with some toasted Pumpkin Seeds and Feta Cheese. It all came together so well.
This salad is also filling enough to be served as a main since it’s loaded with textures and flavours.
INGREDIENTS:
-
1 large sweet potato, peeled
-
2 tbsp of olive oil
-
1/2 cup of pumpkin seeds
-
arugula (one handful per serving)
-
1 cup of feta cheese, crumbled
-
1 tbsp of honey
-
2 tbsp of olive oil
-
2 tbsp of white wine vinegar
-
1 tbsp of Smak Dabs Cranberry Wine Mustard
-
salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
-
Preheat oven to 400F.
-
After you have peeled your sweet potato, slice it into 1 inch thick pieces. If you have a large potato, you might need to cut those slices in half.
-
Add to a mixing bowl, toss with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and a pinch of salt.
-
Spread in an even layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.
-
While the sweet potato is roasting, add pumpkin seeds to a frying pan and cook on low heat for about 10 minutes (or until fragrant and starting to turn golden). Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Pull out the sweet potatoes from the oven, flip and return to the oven for another 10 minutes…until tender and golden.
-
In the meantime; add your honey, white wine vinegar, Cranberry Wine Mustard, remaining olive oil, salt and pepper into a small mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
-
When ready to assemble, add a handful of arugula per person onto a side plate, sprinkle with some feta cheese and pumpkin seeds. Add a few pieces for roasted sweet potato and drizzle with about 2 tbsp of the vinaigrette.
