Warm hearty Salad

I guess at this stage you have all figured out my slight addiction to Sweet Potatoe. None the less here is ANOTHER sweet potatoe recipe for you're enjoyment . I think this is a gorgeous dish to have over the Christmas period , People seem to rarely eat salads but its a seriously yummy and healthy option. 

Ingredients :

1 large Sweet potatoe peeled and cubed 
2 Teaspoon olive oil 
One large bag of mixed leave salad or spinach
2 shallots 
50g Whole Pecans

1/2 teaspoon Paprika  
1/4 Teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 Teaspoon maple syrup

- Bake the sweet potatoe on a dish in the oven for about 25 minutes at 160 degreed 
  until golden .
- Toss in the pecans for a further five minutes in the oven.

Serves two people and contains 475 calories .
You can also spruce this salad up by adding a little bit of feta cheese or Bacon pieces but obviously the calories would be much higher
