    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 25 minutes, stirring once, until golden and softened. Let cool.
  2. In 4 bowls, arrange equal amounts of the lettuce and top with piles of the sweet potatoes, beets, cherry tomatoes, avocados and chickpeas. Lay a piece of salmon on top of each salad. Toss with vinaigrette as needed.
For the Salmon:
  1. Season the salmon filets with salt and pepper on both sides. Cook on a hot grill pan for 3-4 minutes on each side until just slightly pink in the center. Remove and set aside. Flake as needed.
For the Mustard Herb Vinaigrette:
  1. Combine all the ingredients in medium bowl and whisk until everything is incorporated.

Notes

  • Swap out the salmon for chicken if you prefer. You can also leave off the meat for a side salad.
