Ingredients
Dressing
- 1/4 cup pear preserves with honey and ginger
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise light
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- 2 teaspoons sherry or skim milk
Salad
- 1 sweet potato *see note
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt pepper
- 1/4 cup pecans toasted if you wish, chopped
- 5 ounces salad greens chopped
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries see note
- 1/4 cup blue cheese or feta cheese
- 3-4 red onion finely chopped
Instructions
Make dressing
- Combine dressing ingredients. Whisk (smashing preserves slightly) until well combined. Set aside.
Assemble salad
- Peel sweet potato, then cut into 1/2 inch cubes. Toss in olive oil with salt & pepper, then roast at 400 F until starting to turn golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool briefly.
- In a large bowl, combine chopped lettuce, cranberries, cheese, onion, roasted sweet potatoes and pecans.
- Top with dressing, then toss well to combine.
- Garnish with a fan of pear slices if desired. Once dressed, it should be served immediately.
Notes
- If you want to use Thanksgiving leftovers, you can cube a leftover roasted sweet potato instead of cutting up and roasting one. Instead of dried cranberries, you can use chucks of gelled cranberry sauce. Just fully mix the salad first, then fold these in at the end to help them stay more intact.
