Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams sweet potatoes
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup red onion
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Cook the sweet potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender but not mushy.
While the sweet potatoes are cooking, finely dice the red bell pepper and red onion, and cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to prepare the dressing.
Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sweet potatoes, bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and chopped parsley.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring the sweet potatoes are well coated.
Adjust seasoning to taste with more salt and pepper, if necessary.
Serve the salad slightly warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
