Spinach Salad with Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Looking for a healthy main dish salad? This Spinach Salad with Roasted Sweet Potatoes, white beans and basil dressing is it. The recipe is easy and super-adaptable, too. You don’t even need to use the sweet potatoes or the white beans.

The fresh basil dressing will brighten up nearly any combination.

Start with the sweet potatoes. Roast the diced potatoes with olive oil, black pepper, and salt until tender. Once roasted, allow to cool for 10 minutes. In the meantime, prepare the dressing. In a mini food processor, combine fresh basil leaves, shallots, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, whole-grain mustard, oil, salt, and black pepper and pulse until almost smooth. Transfer the dressing to a salad bowl. Add in the cooled sweet potatoes, baby spinach, cannellini beans, napa cabbage, red bell pepper, and toasted pecans and toss to coat. Serve right away for the best flavor.
