Notes
- The quickest and best way we found to cook Sweet potatoes is in the Air Fryer.
- Be sure to let the sweet potatoes cool before tossing it in the salad so it doesn't wilt the greens.
- Similarly with the wild rice, it's an optional ingredient. If you're using it, likewise make sure you cool it off before adding to the salad.
- Make the dressing up to 14 days in advance, as it stays tasty in the fridge. You'll use this salad dressing on many other salads.
- You can swap salad ingredients, add more or less ot your taste.
- Add some protein to this salad to make it a full meal if you'd like.
- To brighten this salad, make it a Greek or Mediterranean one. Use Greek Salad Dressing adding Feta cheese, pomegranate and nuts.
- You can also make this salad similar to the Roasted Butternut Squash, and layer it over arugula.
- Yams, purple sweet potatoes or any type would work in this recipe.
