Sweet Potato And Quinoa Salad
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the sweet potatoes with the olive oil, spices (cinnamon, cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, cayenne, if using), until well coated. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway until potatoes are tender.

  2. While the sweet potatoes are cooking, make the quinoa. Rinse the quinoa (I use a fine-mesh strainer) and place in a medium saucepan with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 12 minutes, then turn off heat and let sit for another 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let cool.

  3. Whisk together the syrup, vinegar, dijon mustard, garlic, and salt until combined, then slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking the entire time until a dressing comes together. Taste, adding more salt/pepper as desired.

  4. In a large bowl, combine the greens, cooked potatoes, cranberries, goat cheese and cooked quinoa. Add the dressing and toss until well coated, then serve immediately.
