Ingredients
Dressing
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
Pinch salt and pepper
Sweet potato
1 large sweet potato, cubed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Salad
1 (5-ounce) package spring mix
1/2 large cucumber, sliced
2/3 cup candied pecans, chopped
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1 tablespoon red onion or shallot, chopped
Directions
For dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients until well-combined.
For sweet potato: Heat oven to 400. Drizzle sweet potato with olive oil, tossing thoroughly to coat. Line a baking sheet with foil, spreading sweet potato in a single layer. Add salt and pepper. Bake for 30 minutes or until fork-tender. Allow to cool. (The bottom side will be nice and caramelized.)
For salad: Place spring mix in a large bowl. Evenly top with remaining salad ingredients and sweet potato. Serve with dressing.
