  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the Salad:

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1 cup burrata cheese, torn into pieces
  • ¼ cup pomegranate seeds (for garnish)
  • Fresh herbs (such as mint or parsley, for garnish)

For the Cranberry-Pomegranate Glaze:

  • ½ cup fresh cranberries (or frozen, thawed)
  • ½ cup pomegranate juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions

Step 1: Roast the Sweet Potatoes

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. 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

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, mix together cranberries, pomegranate juice, honey, and balsamic vinegar.
  2. Simmer & Thicken: Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until cranberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly (about 10-15 minutes).
  3. Cool: Remove from heat and let the glaze cool slightly before drizzling.

Step 3: Assemble the Salad

  1. Prepare the Base: Arrange mixed greens in a large serving bowl or platter.
  2. Add Roasted Sweet Potatoes: Layer the warm sweet potatoes on top of the greens.
  3. Add Burrata: Tear the burrata cheese into pieces and distribute evenly.
  4. Drizzle with Glaze: Pour the cranberry-pomegranate glaze over the salad for a tangy-sweet finish.
  5. Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and fresh herbs for an elegant touch.
