I went to Jungle Cafe this past weekend and wanted to recreate this awesome squash salad but I had no squash and the other ingredients so I made my version! Here’s the recipe:

Two medium sweet potatoes, diced
One avocado, diced
One bag of mixed greens (4 cups)
A handful of pumpkin seeds
A drizzle of EVOO
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp onion powder
A dash of cinnamon

1. Rinse the diced sweet potatoes and drain.
2. Season the potatoes with the seasonings above.
3. Massage the potatoes all seasonings are mixed in well.
4. Roast the sweet potatoes for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.
5. Make sure they are a bit al dente (not too mushy)
6. In a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil, sauté the potatoes and brown.
7. Let me cool a bit then place the warm potatoes and avocados on top a bed of freshly rinsed greens.
8. Take a handful of pumpkin seeds and sprinkle on top.
9. Top with Goddess dressing and enjoy!
