2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tsp cumin 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
100 g feta cheese crumbled
50 g walnuts roughly chopped

For the Orange Dressing

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
For the Tahini Drizzle

1 tablespoon water or more as needed

Method

Sweet Potato: Preheat the oven to 200°C . Sprinkle the spice mix over the sweet potato. Place the sweet potato cubes on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat the sweet potatoes evenly. Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to make the orange dressing. Adjust the seasonings according to taste.
Tahini Drizzle: In another small bowl, whisk together the tahini, water, lemon juice, and salt to create a smooth drizzling consistency. Add more water if needed.
Assembly: In a large salad bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, crumbled feta cheese, chopped walnuts, and mixed salad greens. Drizzle the orange dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients. Drizzle the tahini mixture over the salad as a flavourful garnish. Serve the salad immediately and enjoy!
