Tips & tricks
Peel the sweet potato - the skin can be a bit tough
The sweet potatoes will taste quite peppery if you taste them on their own - don't worry, it will be great in the salad with all the other ingredients
Serve the salad warm or cold - it's delicious both ways
Prep ahead - the sweet potatoes can be roasted up to 3 days in advance. Combine the ingredients for the salad just before serving, and either heat the sweet potatoes or serve the salad cold.
Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days
Eat leftovers cold as the mixed salad won't heat very well
If you want to eat your leftovers warm keep the ingredients separate and heat just the sweet potatoes, then combine everything just before eating
