Recently I went with friends to my favorite restaurant.
I love the Prime Rib they make.
That particular day they were out of Prime Rib. So I decided to go healthy and order the Popeye salad.
It was a splendid salad with lots of fresh strawberries, blue cheese, walnuts with a tangy balsamic vinaigrette. As I ate my salad I thought how good it would be if I made it with sweet potato.
That is how this salad was born.A couple of days later I decided to make it. It was just as good as I imagined it would be. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Sweet Potato, Walnut and Blue Cheese Salad
1 large sweet potato peeled and diced
1 medium onion peeled and diced
1 green pepper diced
1/4 cup olive oil divided
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 10 oz bag of baby spinach
2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
2 tablespoons walnuts
2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
Directions

On a roasting pan toss potato, pepper and onion with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt and pepper.
Bake in the oven for about 20-30 minutes, or until sweet potato is golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside.
Toss the baby spinach in a bowl
In a small bowl whisk together the vinegar, and oil. Pour over the spinach. sprinkle with sweet potato mixture walnuts and blue cheese. Serve immediately.
Peace be with you,
