5 reasons you’ll fall in love with this sweet potato salad
How to make this sweet potato salad recipe
While making this sweet potato salad is relatively easy, it does involve a few steps. Luckily, most of the prep work can be done while the sweet potatoes are roasting so the salad comes together pretty quickly.
Make the brown butter dressing
The only part of making this recipe that might feel a bit tricky is making the brown butter. Don’t worry though, it’s very easy. The only thing you need to make sure you do is to keep a close eye on it. Don’t walk away from the stove. Don’t check your text messages. Watch the butter. First, the butter will melt. Second, the butter will foam like crazy. Third, the butter will brown. When it’s in the foaming stage, start stirring it slowly, This is partly to mix it around so it browns evenly but also to move the foam aside so you can see it browning. Once there are lots of golden brown bits it the butter, remove the pan from the heat. Note: some people strain the brown bits from the butter but I find this picky and totally unnecessary. Save yourself the work and keep them in the butter.
What to serve with roasted sweet potato salad
This is a filling salad recipe that can easily be eaten on its own as a lunch or light dinner. As part of a full meal, all it needs is a simple protein and your dinner is done. I like to serve it with either my Perfect Baked Chicken Breasts or my Juicy Baked Pork Chops. Both can be cooked in the oven along with the sweet potatoes so dinner can be ready quickly. For an easy meal, but one pretty enough to serve to company, try this Roasted Parmesan Crusted Chicken or this Lemon Herb Butter Roast Chicken.
