For the Salad:

- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 cups mixed salad greens

For the Cranberry-Pomegranate Glaze:

Instructions
Step 1: Roast the Sweet Potatoes
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Roast: Spread the sweet potatoes on a lined baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and caramelized.
Step 2: Make the Cranberry-Pomegranate Glaze
- Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, mix together cranberries, pomegranate juice, honey, and balsamic vinegar.
- Simmer & Thicken: Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until cranberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly (about 10-15 minutes).
- Cool: Remove from heat and let the glaze cool slightly before drizzling.
Step 3: Assemble the Salad
- Prepare the Base: Arrange mixed greens in a large serving bowl or platter.
- Add Roasted Sweet Potatoes: Layer the warm sweet potatoes on top of the greens.
- Add Burrata: Tear the burrata cheese into pieces and distribute evenly.
- Drizzle with Glaze: Pour the cranberry-pomegranate glaze over the salad for a tangy-sweet finish.
- Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and fresh herbs for an elegant touch.
