Creamy Sweet Potato Salad Recipe with Leafy Greens

To make this creamy sweet potato salad, start with your sweet potatoes. Peel and dice them into small cubes. This helps them cook faster. Boil them in salted water for about eight to ten minutes. You want them fork-tender but not mushy. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and let them cool a bit.

Next, we prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, tahini, honey, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk it until smooth. This dressing adds a rich creaminess to your salad.

Now, let’s toss everything together. In a large bowl, combine the cooled sweet potatoes, mixed leafy greens, toasted walnuts, and dried cranberries. These ingredients bring color and texture to the dish.

Pour the creamy dressing over the salad. Gently toss everything together until well coated. The dressing should hug every piece of sweet potato and green.

Finally, serve your salad in a big bowl. For a nice touch, sprinkle extra walnuts and cranberries on top. A lemon wedge on the side adds a fresh zing. Enjoy this healthy and easy dish!
