Ingredients
  

For the Salad:
  • 1 large sweet potato diced into small cubes
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 3 cups baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 mango peeled and chopped into small cubes

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is perfect for roasting sweet potatoes to achieve that caramelized, tender texture.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with 1 teaspoon of curry powder and 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of honey and 1 tablespoon of water to enhance the sweetness and flavor.
  3. Step 3: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. Step 4: In a large mixing bowl, combine the baby spinach, sliced almonds, chopped mango, and roasted sweet potatoes once they have cooled slightly.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle the salad with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and toss gently to combine. Top with fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
  6. Step 6: Serve the Roasted Sweet Potato and Mango Salad immediately, or chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for a refreshing cold salad.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a nut-free version, replace sliced almonds with pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
  • Try adding chickpeas or quinoa for extra protein!
