Roasted Beetroot Salad with Sweet Potato and Pear
I need some more beetroot recipes in my life.
Like this sweet roasted beetroot salad with sweet potato and pear balanced by some tangy feta and some crunch from walnuts. Simple, beautifully coloured and great flavours.
It is an easy lunch box idea, brunch recipe and makes a great side to some roast meat. Try it yourself and let me know what you think.

There is something so humble about a big bowl of humble, yet colourful root veg. This looks amazing!
I’m actually a late comer to the incredible taste of sweet potato in many different cooking presentations. So, this salad sounds absolutely delicious not to mention healthy. It’s also gorgeous to boot, Bintu 🙂
Based on the ingredients it contains I don’t see why I would like this! It really looks great!
I love roasted beetroot, so delicious and often have it in a salad but haven’t tried it with sweet potato, really interesting idea!
Beautiful! I love the colours, it looks delicious. Definitely, must try!
Thanks Elsa.

I’m not a fan of beetroot, but my other half is. This recipe is easy peasy, and looks delicious, I might actually give it a try!
Yaya, just leave the beetroot out of your portion.
