Roasted Sweet Potato Salad

Since I became a professional in the food industry, I didn’t have much time on my hand to work out or to be more active (I know these are all excuses 😉 :P) The result is I have put on a few pounds and in addition I suffer from hypo thyroid so it does’t help my situation. It’s an ongoing battle for me and I love to create new, healthy and exciting recipes in my diet.

A few days ago, I didn’t have many things in my fridge and I was dying (exaggerating 😉 ) of hunger and whatever ingredients I had in my pantry, I came up with this gorgeous salad recipe. When I create my recipes, I always look for low glycemic index food and sweet potatoes are high in glycemic index when you bake them, so to turn this recipe into a healthier one, you can steam them.

Try this salad recipe and stay healthy!!! 🙂

Ingredients: 
2 sweet potatoes peeled and cut in big chunks
1 red onion finely sliced
1 chilli finely chopped (optional)
2 tsp finely grated ginger
1 tsp grainy mustard

Serve and enjoy.
