Ingredients

• 2 medium sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup pineapple
• 1 cup mango
• 2 medium kiwi
• 0.5 cup pomegranate seeds
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
• 0.25 cup crushed pecans

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes.

Step 3

Place the sweet potato cubes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden and fork-tender. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.

Step 5

While the sweet potatoes are cooling, prepare the fruits. Peel and dice the pineapple and mango into bite-sized pieces. Peel the kiwi and slice into thin rounds or half-moons. Set the fruits aside.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice and honey to make the dressing.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, pineapple, mango, kiwi, and pomegranate seeds.

Step 8

Drizzle the lime-honey dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients.

Step 9

Chop the fresh mint leaves finely and sprinkle them over the salad.

Step 10

Top the salad with crushed pecans for added crunch.

Step 11

Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.
