You know how in supermarkets they have these sweet and salty bars? These two flavors, sweet and salty, are two opposites that go so well together. It’s like they emphasize each other. This salad is combining exactly these two opposites and that what makes it so good. The truth is that I wasn’t planning on making this salad or even using these ingredients, but when I noticed I forgot to buy lettuce and only had tomatoes in the fridge, I had to act fast. Also, I like salads that can be kept in the fridge for the morning after, just in case there are leftovers and this salad is definitely one like that. Let your taste buds celebrate.

Description

This Sweet Potato and Feta Cheese Salad combines the delightful contrast of sweet roasted potatoes and salty feta, enhanced by the aromatic touch of sage.

Ingredients

Units Scale

2 tbsp Butter
5 Fresh Sage Leaves
3 Sweet Potatoes
1 tbsp Chopped Fresh Parsley
2 tbsp Olive Oil
2/3 cup Feta Cheese - Cubed
Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into small cubes, approximately 1/2 inch in size.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the fresh sage leaves and stir until the butter is infused with the sage flavor, about 2-3 minutes.
Place the sweet potato cubes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and lightly browned.
In a large bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, cubed feta cheese, and chopped fresh parsley.
Pour the sage-infused butter over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients.
Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

The fresh sage leaves can be omitted if preferred. This salad can be stored in the fridge and enjoyed the next day. It’s a versatile dish that pairs well with grilled meats or can be enjoyed on its own.
