Best Persian Inspired Salad With Sweet Potato And Spinach Recipes
PERSIAN INSPIRED SALAD WITH SWEET POTATO AND SPINACH
From the blog "Sprouts in the Hood" and influenced by Najmieh Batmanglij's recipes, this salad is unusual, delicious and works as a main dish for 2 or as a salad course for 4. I roasted my sweet potato and used spring onions in place of the garlic stems. I also skipped the red pepper flakes and saffron, though I'm sure each would be a fine addition.
