Ingredients:
Salad

  • 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 2 lb)
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced into half-moons
  • 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Dressing
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp ground paprika
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions:
  1. Roast. Preheat oven to 400°F. On a large rimmed sheet pan, toss sweet potatoes and red onion with 2 Tbsp olive oil, a good pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer.
  2. Bake. Roast until tender and lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes, then transfer to a large bowl.
  3. Whisk the dressing. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk vinegar, mustard, honey, cumin, and paprika. Slowly whisk in 1/4 cup olive oil until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Toss and serve. Add dressing to the warm vegetables, then fold in cranberries, feta, and parsley. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Make-It-Yours (and Health-Smart) Tips
  • More crunch: add a handful of toasted walnuts or pecans for heart-healthy fats.
  • Dairy-free: skip the feta and add diced avocado or toasted pumpkin seeds.
  • Lower sodium: use reduced-sodium feta and salt lightly; the mustard and vinegar keep flavors bright.
  • Meal prep: roast the vegetables and whisk the dressing up to 2 days ahead; toss just before serving.
  • Easy prep: parchment on the pan helps with cleanup; pre-cut sweet potatoes save wrist and knife work.
