Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes Rich in vitamins A and C, providing a naturally sweet base.
  • 1 bell pepper Any color works well!
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes Halve them for easy eating.
  • 1 large avocado Use a ripe avocado for creaminess.
  • 1/4 cup red onion Soak in water for a milder flavor if desired.
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro Can substitute with parsley.
Dressing Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil Healthy fat that complements the sweetness.
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar Adjust to taste for acidity.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Essential to enhance all flavors.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into cubes. Boil them in a pot of salted water until tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped sweet potatoes, diced bell pepper, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and chopped cilantro.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Taste the dressing; it should be tangy yet balanced.
Mixing and Serving
  1. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine, being gentle to avoid mashing the avocado.
  2. Serve immediately for a warm salad, or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

To keep cooking stress-free, consider prepping the sweet potatoes in advance. Add your favorite nuts or seeds for crunch.
