Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 small Sweet Potatoes
- 1 large Mango
- 1/2 cup shelled Edamame
- 2 Tbs. plus 1 Tbs. Olive Oil
- Sea Salt and freshly ground Pepper
- 1 Lemon juiced
- 2 Tbs. Honey
- 1 Tbs. Rice Vinegar
- Small handful of finely chopped Cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat the oven at 425° F.
- Rinse & scrub the sweet potatoes well and pat dry. Cut into 1 1/2” cubes and place in a bowl. Add the 2 Tbs. olive oil and a generous dash of salt & pepper and toss until well-coated. Spread the sweet potatoes onto a foil-lined cookie sheet and roast for about 15 minutes or until tender.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the dressing by combining the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, honey, rice vinegar, and cilantro, and whisk together well. Set aside.
- Peel & cut the mango into 1” cubes, and if you’re using frozen, whole edamame, thaw & shell it so you have the individual beans at your disposal.
- When the potatoes are done roasting, allow them to cool for a few minutes. Combine the potatoes, mango, and edamame in a large bowl. Drizzle the dressing on top & toss lightly.
- Serve on a bed of greens or on its own, and enjoy!
