Get ready to indulge in the most epic salad extravaganza of your life!
Today, we’re diving into the world of salads, and trust me, you won’t want to miss this!. No more boring, wilted lettuce and bland toppings!

I love eating this salad warm or cold! It’s a great vegetarian meal or side dish.
Let’s get started on the sweet potatoes! Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grab those sweet potatoes and give them a good scrub. Cut the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces, maybe even a little smaller if you want them to roast faster! Toss them with olive oil, salt, and paprika!

Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. It’s important to give them room to breathe! Now, pop that sheet into the oven and let those sweet potatoes roast for about 20-25 minutes.

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, get ready to make the dressing! This will be a game-changer!

In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. You can adjust the amount of honey based on your preference, but I recommend a good dollop! Once the sweet potatoes are roasted and cooled to room temperature, toss them with the dressing.
Now, let’s assemble this masterpiece! Add the sweet potatoes to a large bowl. Now for the star of the show—the avocado! Slice that avocado into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl. Next up, those glorious arugula leaves!
Gently toss everything together so that everything is coated with the dressing. And that’s it! You’ve just created a delicious, healthy, and vibrant salad!
Feel free to sprinkle some chopped walnuts or pecans for a little crunch! It’s your creation, so let your imagination run wild!
Serve it warm or cold. It will be a hit with any crowd!
