Roasted Sweet Potato Cauliflower Salad

Christine Kelley

This salad is so yummy, healthy, inexpensive and easy to make with local ingredients. This is my favorite to make ahead and pack for work week lunches, you can add in salad greens or adapt the recipe with other veggies to use what you have available. This recipe was entered in our We ♥ Local Sweet Potato recipe contest by Christine Kelley.
