Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Arrange the sweet potato pieces on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss and mix to coat each piece, and then spread the pieces out so you have a single layer.

Bake the sweet potatoes, stirring one time halfway through, for 30 minutes, and check to see they are cooked through. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before adding to the salad

Top your greens with the sweet potatoes, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, and avocado. Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the top and toss to coat.

Crispy Bacon would be a lovely addition to this salad
