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)
- Seeded and minced habanero pepper (½)
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.
