This roasted sweet potato and pear salad with bulgur has eastern mediterranean influences. Sweet potato, pear and red onion are spiced with cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cayenne and roasted to perfection, then served over bulgur with a tangy white balsamic dressing. Topped with pomegranate arils and fresh herbs, this makes a terrific side dish that is simple to make and is packed with flavour.<\/p>\n\n\n

Roasted Sweet Potato and Pear Salad \u2014 what a combo!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I love recipes that are simple to make and still pack a punch when it comes to flavour! Yes, it’s true that I like to combine vegetables and fruit. Whether in salads or when roasting them. But pears and sweet potato taste fabulous together! Just like fennel and pears, parsnip and apples<\/a>, pumpkin and apples \u2014 just like in love, there are so many unlikely pairs that, together, work in perfect harmony. And this is a salad that you can feel good about eating \u2014 it’s packed with goodness!<\/p>\n\n\n

Sweet potato and pear salad uses simple pantry ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What I particularly love about this sweet potato and pear salad is that it is something that relies only on a few ingredients \u2014 mostly pantry staples. Sweet potatoes I almost always have on hand. Same goes with pears (or apples) and of course onions. These are everyday staples. Spice too. Bulgur can easily be replaced with quinoa, couscous, or millet. But my personal preference here is definitely bulgur. As for pomegranate, it adds texture, sweet-tart flavours and above all colour! A splash of freshly squeezed lime juice or lemon juice could probably do the job, if needed. I hope you love this salad. It\u2019s delicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
