Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and thickly sliced
2-3 tbsp of fruity green olive oil, plus extra for brushing
1 small red onion, finely chopped
300g of baby plum or cherry tomatoes, chopped
1 bag of ready-washed baby leaf spinach or rocket
Juice of ½ lemon
150g of feta cheese, crumbled or diced
Balsamic vinegar or pomegranate molasses, for drizzling
Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
Method
Step 1

If you’re cooking this over a campfire, let it burn down to the embers and place a grill grate over them. If you’re using a BBQ, heat it to medium.

Step 2

Brush the sweet potato slices on both sides with some olive oil and place on the barbecue grill above the hot coals or on a grill grate over the glowing embers of the fire. Cook for about 8 minutes each side, or until they are slightly charred and tender but keep their shape.

Step 3

Mix together the onion, tomatoes and spinach or rocket in a bowl. Add the sweet potatoes and season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Stir the olive oil and lemon juice together or shake in a screw top jar until blended. Pour over the salad and toss together gently.

Step 5

Sprinkle the feta over the top, then drizzle with balsamic vinegar or pomegranate molasses and serve while the sweet potato is still warm.

Cook's Tip: 

Add some diced chilli, sesame seeds or chopped herbs. Instead of feta, serve with torn mozzarella or grilled halloumi. Add some grilled red or yellow peppers or aubergines.
