Sweet Potato And Arugula Salad Recipes

ARUGULA SALAD WITH ROASTED SWEET POTATOES AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On 2 large, rimmed baking sheets, toss together sweet potatoes, mushrooms, cumin, and oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Roast, rotating sheets halfway through, until vegetables are tender, browned, and dry, about 40 minutes. Reserve 4 cups sweet potatoes and mushrooms (see Cook's Note below).
• In a large bowl, combine arugula with the sauteed corn and 6 cups of the roasted sweet potatoes and mushrooms; toss until arugula wilts slightly. (If you don't have leftover sauteed corn, dress the salad with a simple vinaigrette.) Serve immediately, topped with tortilla strips and crumbled goat cheese, if desired.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spread the potatoes in an even layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top of the potatoes and season them with a few pinches each of salt and pepper. Stir the potatoes around to coat them evenly in the oil. Roast the potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are fork tender. Remove them from the oven and cool them in the pan while you prepare the rest of the salad.
• In a small bowl, whisk the mustard and lemon juice with 3 tablespoons of olive oil until combined. Season the dressing with a generous pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper.
• In a large bowl, toss the arugula, green onion, parsley, and potatoes together. Add two tablespoons of the dressing to the bowl and gently toss it with the greens and potatoes until they are evenly coated. Divide the salad between two plates and garnish with the walnuts and feta cheese.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO AND ROCKET SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Whisk the 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; toss the sweet potato wedges with the olive oil to coat. Place the bell pepper halves with their cut-sides down onto a baking sheet; arrange the sweet potato wedges around the peppers.
• Roast in the preheated oven until the potatoes are slightly charred and crispy and the the bell pepper skin is blistered, about 45 minutes. Shake the pan once mid-way through the cooking time to keep the mixture from sticking to the pan. Set the potato wedges aside to cool. Place the pepper halves into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap; allow to sweat until cool, about 20 minutes. Peel the skin from the peppers and discard.
• Mince the garlic and shallot together in a food processor. Add the peeled peppers, lemon juice, mustard, hot sauce, salt, and pepper; puree until smooth. Slowly stream the 1/2 cup olive oil and the walnut oil into the mixture as it blends. Transfer to a large bowl; add the arugula leaves and toss to coat.
• Divide the potato wedges between 4 salad plates; top the wedges with equal amounts of the dressed arugula leaves. Shave the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over the salads to serve. Serve immediately.

• In a large bowl, combine the cooled sweet potatoes, arugula and scallions. In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the lemon juice and Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Just before serving, toss the dressing with the sweet potato and arugula mixture to coat.
