I cannot believe how good this recipe was! The sweet potato, spinach, and the dressing make an excellent combination. The recipe takes about 30 minutes and will serve 2 people but up the ratios of the ingredients if need be. I used a quinoa and rice packet for my grains so I can say both are great grains for the dish. This sweet potato and grains salad is so healthy, filling, and flavorful you won't know what to do with yourself!
