Sweet Potato and Pomegranate Salad

Sweet Potato and Pomegranate Salad! Beautiful and festive roasted sweet potato, and pomegranate spinach salad with creamy Parmesan cheese, pecans, and tangy balsamic dressing! Perfect for the holidays.

I had never had a salad before that had sweet potatoes! When I went out to eat with my husband a few weeks ago, was my first experience and it changed my life! Okay, it didn’t change my life but it was incredible! It is a great mixture of sweet and savory and the flavors complement each other in the best way!

This would be a fabulous meal on its own or would be a great addition to any dinner! Enjoy!

Looks tasty and it is so easy to make. I will try it without the pecans (allergy reasons)!
