This vibrant, wholesome salad is bursting with fresh flavor and satisfying textures.
How to make it
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, which is about 200 degrees Celsius.
- 2
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into lovely 1 inch cubes. Toss them on a baking sheet with a generous drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a good grind of black pepper. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are beautifully tender and slightly caramelized. Remember to give them a good shake halfway through cooking for even browning.

While your sweet potatoes are roasting, let us make the delightful tahini dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini and the fresh lime juice. If it is a bit too thick, add a tablespoon or two of warm water until the dressing reaches a smooth, pourable consistency. Taste it and add a tiny bit of salt if you feel it needs it.

Once the sweet potatoes are perfectly roasted, take them out and let them cool down just for a few minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the fresh arugula, the warm roasted sweet potatoes, and the crunchy chopped walnuts. Drizzle generously with that lovely tahini lime dressing. Toss everything gently to combine and serve this bright and wholesome meal immediately. Enjoy every bite.
