#  BBQ Sweet Potato Salad &amp; Feta Salad  


Whether you serve this as a side with some grilled fish, as part of a medley of salads or on it's own with some crunchy bread for lunch, this salad will bring a taste of the Med to your kitchen. If the British weather isn't allowing for BBQs, simply use the oven grill instead.

Total Time

 30 Minutes 

 



 

 

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 &amp; 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.
