This roasted sweet potato quinoa salad is filling, fresh and simply delicious. It’s nourishing, sweet, crunchy and tangy combination of fluffy quinoa, tender roasted sweet potatoes, peppery arugula, fresh cilantro, crunchy seeds and deliciously sweet-sour pomegranate tossed in a brightly flavored citrus-honey dressing.<\/p>\n

Organic is the best choice for sweet potatoes<\/h2>\n

Roasting has got to be the easiest way to cook about anything. Sweet potatoes are no exception, they roast beautifully. Now I like to season my sweet potatoes quite aggressively with coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper, but you can add as much or as little as you want. The one thing I definitely recommend, is to buy organic sweet potatoes. Trust me, you\u2019ll thank me. Whenever possible I try to buy organic, but this is one of the vegetables I ALWAYS buy organic. <\/p>\n

A few years ago I did a taste test between some imported high carbon footprint non-organic taters flown in from a far away continent and organic ones grown in nearby Italy. Incomparable. Organic sweet potatoes just taste better. They are less watery and have more depth of flavor. Plus if you purchase organic, you can eat the whole thing <\/a>since you don’t have to worry about peeling off the skin where pesticides reside. But, for this recipe, I\u2019m going for a velvety texture, so I\u2019ve peeled them.<\/p>\n

A roasted sweet potato quinoa salad is packed with goodness<\/h2>\n

This is a super healthy and perfectly light all-in-one salad that tastes amazing and is packed with pure goodness. Quinoa is one of my go-to grains (which is actually a seed!). I love it. It\u2019s a complete protein making it perfect for vegetarians and it\u2019s delicious slightly nutty flavor goes with absolutely everything. Together with beta-carotene rich and fibre packed sweet potatoes \u2013 yes, surprise, they have twice the fibre as regular potatoes \u2013 this salad and it\u2019s fantastic array of flavors and textures is filled with loads of essential vitamins and minerals that will keep you healthy and feeling energized!<\/p>\n
