Preparation – 20 minutes

If you are using an oven, preheat it to 180 degrees Celsius or 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Peel the sweet potato and cut it into cubes. Mix the cubes with a bit of olive oil, black pepper and salt. Spread them out on a baking tray or one that fits in the air fryer. Roast the sweet potato cubes in the air fryer or oven. This will take about 15 minutes, depending on the size of the cubes and the device you're using.

In the meantime, wash the spinach if needed, remove any tough stems and dry the leaves in a salad spinner.

Making the spinach and sweet potato salad – 10 minutes

Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Cut the feta into cubes.

Cut the red beets into cubes. If needed, crack the walnuts and chop them roughly.

You can make the dressing directly in a big bowl. Create an easy dressing with the zest and juice of 1 lime, 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of mustard. Season with black pepper and salt.

Mix the spinach with cherry tomatoes, red beet cubes, feta and the dressing. Finish with the roasted sweet potato and chopped walnuts. Enjoy!

Tips!

When do you use black pepper and when white pepper?

You can use black or white pepper in any dish, but sometimes you want the warm, sharper and fuller taste that black pepper gives. White pepper is milder and more earthy in flavour. It’s often used when you want a more neutral taste or when black pepper wouldn't look good in a dish, like in a soup.

How long can I store spinach salad?

You can store the spinach salad in the fridge for up to 2 days. To do this, keep the dressing separate, or the spinach and walnuts will lose their crunch.
