I used to make a pasta dish using these three ingredients, Spinach, Sweet Potato & Fetta. Many years ago, I had the pasta dish at a small cafe in Melbourne CBD. I I fell in love with it, and I started making it. These days, I often leave out the pasta and make just the salad. It can be a great side dish.

Steps

1

Peel Sweet Potato, cut into bite-size pieces, and steam or roast until cooked. Do not over cook as it gets mushy.
2

Place Baby Spinach in a mixing bowl, add Olive Oil, Salt & Black Pepper, add cooked Sweet Potato pieces, and gently mix to combine. Baby Spinach would be half-cooked by the hot Sweet Potato, and the volume will be reduced.
3

Add crumbled Fetta and toasted Pine Nuts. You can mix them, or just sprinkle them on top.

*Note: You can simply mix this salad with freshly cooked Pasta. You may wish to add extra Olive Oil and Slat & Black Pepper.
