Roasted Sweet Potato Chickpea Feta Salad with roasted sweet and smoky sweet potatoes and seasoned chickpeas and feta, coated in a tangy lemon-herb dressing. This vegetarian salad makes a great side for grilled/roasted meat main-course. It is also a good filling lunch. Gluten Free, Vegetarian, Protein-Packed, Vitamin-Packed. Above all, delicious! Flavorful where every bite has smoothing delicious to offer. Let's give it try! My favorite about this salad is that it is so easy to put together. By the time sweet potato roasts in oven, you can assemble the rest of salad. Once sweet potatoes are ready, add to salad and serve. Really, it is That simple! Worth a mention that this Chickpea Salad is also all-season salad. Enjoy any time of year! If you prefer, grill sweet potatoes or pan-roast instead of roasting sweet potato in the oven. Chickpeas are staple in our home. You can tell that from number of recipes I have on blog. :) I'm always thinking about news ways to eat chickpeas. Chickpea goes great with curries, stews and is perfect to fold in salads. Life Update: Last few months have been crazy-busy for me. I had to clear few exams for my day job. This one addition to my routine disrupted everything else. I could not attend to blog, had no time to even think about a new recipe. I passed the exam.. (yeah!) But really.. missed sharing update on blog. Now that I'm back, I wanted to share the salad I ate many a times in past two months. This salad had been regular on our lunch/dinner table for two simple reasons; needs very less time to prepare. it is hearty and delicious. Worth a mention that you can make it ahead and serve as hearty-side any time. Worked perfectly for me because as I wanted to spend any minute I could save on exam preparation. :-) I hope this delicious salad will make to your lunch box and dinner table as well! It is a pantry-friendly salad. If you like sweet potatoes and chickpeas, you can actually enjoy this salad on side tonight with your favorite main-course. Stay safe and keep smiling. -Savita
