Green Salad with Sweet Potato and Toasted Almonds
Jump to recipe
The other day I was really craving a salad but didn’t exactly have the largest variety of ingredients in my fridge. So I came up with this: My Green Salad with Sweet Potato and Toasted Almonds and was so pleasantly surprised. One of my friends staying with me now is a vegan so I’ve been loving the challenge to create more plant-based dishes. But regardless of if you’re vegan or not, I truly believe everyone will love this recipe and especially this dressing. It feels hearty from the sautéed sweet potato but you can always opt in to add a protein if you desire. Enjoy! Xx
