Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and dice into 1/2-inch cubes. Place on a baking sheet and drizzle with the 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Roast the potatoes until they are soft and slightly crisp on the outsides, about 20 minutes.
- In a saucepan, combine the water and the quinoa. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, 15-20 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the roasted potatoes, cooked quinoa, broccoli, yellow and red peppers, and cucumbers. Stir to combine.
- Combine the olive oil, honey, lemon juice, lime juice, and cilantro in a mini food processor or a blender. Blend until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the sweet potato and quinoa mixture, then stir to coat with the dressing.
- Serve the salad warm or cold.
