    Blah, blah, blah. Something about needing to eat a salad after all that food at Thanksgiving.

    Roasted Sweet Potato Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette

    But, here’s the thing (aside from the fact that that kind of thinking is nonsense and harmful)...

    Roasted Sweet Potato Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette

    I love a salad! I eat a salad virtually every day. Sometimes twice a day.

    Roasted Sweet Potato Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette

    Because it doesn’t have to be about deprivation or denial. There’s nothing better than a big green salad loaded up with all sortsa stuff. An entire meal within a salad. Something roasty, something creamy, something salty, something sweet, something tangy. Ta-da! A meal within a salad, a salad as a meal! Amen.

    Roasted Sweet Potato Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette

    This Roasted Sweet Potato Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette is the perfect way to close out autumn and keep the winter chill at bay. Golden brown sweet potatoes, fresh pears, creamy goat cheese, and salty prosciutto paired with spiced nuts are delightful elements on a bed of mixed greens and spicy arugula. This salad can be served as the entire meal, or as a delicious side amongst a larger entrée.
