Roasted Sweet Potato Salad

Roasted sweet potato salad is a delicious salad which combines the goodness of sweet potatoes with a lip-smacking dressing…the result? Well, it is simply awesome! I am sure you will not be able to resist this one.

I first tried making this delicious salad a couple of weeks back when I found myself with access of sweet potatoes in the house and since then I make it every other week. It is so easy to make and uses such simple ingredients!

Sweet potatoes are well known for the number of health benefits they provide. They are an excellent source of fibers, vitamins and minerals and also rich in an antioxidant called as beta-carotene, which converts to Vitamin A when consumed. Combine the numerous health benefits with the sweet taste of the sweet potato, what’s not to like about this yummy root vegetable?
