Ingredients

Salad

  • 1 sweet potato (about 250 g)
  • 3 tbsp pine nuts
  • 2 cactus figs
  • 250 g cherry tomatoes
  • 6 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp wood matured balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 75 g rocket
  • 50 g lollo rosso
  • 100 g soft goat's cheese
  • Salt and pepper

Kitchen tools

  • Baking paper

Preparation method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes, slice them into 1.5 cm thick cubes. Divide them over a baking tray lined with baking paper and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until tender. Leave to cool slightly.
  3. Heat a non-stick frying pan and toast the pine nuts until golden brown in about 3 minutes. Cool them on a plate.
  4. Fix the cactus figs to the chopping board using a fork. Cut both ends off the fruit. Score lengthwise into the skin. Remove the skin with a fork. Thinly slice the flesh. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
  5. Combine the rest of the olive oil with the balsamic vinegar, mustard and honey to make a dressing. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Arrange the rocket and lollo rosso on a plate. Divide the sweet potato, cactus figs and cherry tomatoes over the salad. Crumble the goat's cheese over the top, drizzle with the dressing and scatter over the pine nuts.

Enjoy!
