In a recent post, I shared my favourite way to roast sweet potatoes. Today, I want to show you a wonderful way to use the above mentioned sweet potatoes in a tasty, simple salad bowl. Using good quality jamon, prosciutto or roast ham and lovely fresh greens, you can have a delicious lunch, dinner or breakfast ready in no time. Ok, a little longer if you need to roast the sweet potatoes.
I’ve provided the ingredients you need for the sweet potatoes below, but you will find the instructions in this more detailed post. While you’re at it, roast a little extra so you have some leftovers to use in other meals.
This is a great breakfast recipe for those following AIP diet or avoiding eggs. My friend Ariadne introduced me to this dish and she often makes it with crispy bacon instead of ham. You can use some smoked salmon or sardines instead. The recipe below is for two people so either divide or multiply the ingredients for a larger serving.
This recipe is suitable to those following my free paleo program or a similar program like Whole30.
