This Wild Rice, Sweet Potato, and Brussels Sprouts Salad is a perfect weeknight dinner that is hearty enough to be the entire meal, something I love to whip up.
I'm not always a fan of eating cold salads in the winter, especially in New England. Adding the roasted sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts to the salad adds just enough warmth to be comforting, without wilting the lettuce.
I like to use a sturdy mixed greens for this recipe, usually with arugula to add another dimension.
Enjoy!
Note on the sauce:
If you are like me and aren’t a fan of salad dressing, feel free to squeeze a bit of lemon juice over the salad and top with crumbled feta cheese.
Slice your sweet potato a bit thinner than the Brussels sprouts because they take longer to cook.
Notes
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a small baking tray with aluminum foil.
2
Add the sweet potatoes and Brussels Sprouts to the baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil. Add the salt and pepper, then mix together. Sprinkle over the ham.
3
Roast in the oven for 10 minutes, then take them out to flip around and roast for another 10-15 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender and starting to brown.
4
While the vegetables roast, make the Long Grain & Wild Rice.
5
When the vegetables are done, toss them with the rice, and serve on the mixed greens. Drizzle with the vinaigrette.

This is the perfect salad for using leftovers. I like to make at least the sweet potatoes ahead of time. When I do this salad can come together in under 30 minutes!
