Ingredients

  • Ingredients for the salad:
  • Cubed sweet potatoes (4 large)
  • Cooking spray
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • For the dressing:
  • Freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • Salad components:
  • Peeled, seeded, and chopped large mangoes (2)
  • Minced onion (¾ cup)
  • Chopped fresh cilantro (¾ cup)
  • Peeled, pitted, and chopped large avocado (1)
  • Chopped green onion (1)

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Next, place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, ensuring to evenly distribute them. Lightly coat them with cooking spray and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 3

Allow the potatoes to roast in the oven until they are tender, typically around 20 minutes. Once done, move them to a plate and refrigerate until they are completely chilled.

Step 4

While waiting, in a separate bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, a hint of brown sugar, a sprinkle of sea salt, and a dash of black pepper. Let the dressing sit for at least 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, toss together the cooled sweet potatoes, mangoes, diced onion, fresh cilantro, creamy avocado, sliced green onion, and a touch of habanero pepper for some heat.

Step 6

Finally, drizzle the prepared dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss everything together until well coated. This dish is now ready to be served and enjoyed.
