It’s a fact that everyone enjoys not only the taste of food, but its presentation on the plate. And when it comes to presentation, salads come to the spotlight. They usually include a lot of ingredients which makes it harder to combine right colors with matching flavors. But not if you are making salad with roasted sweet potato, tomato and corn!
Salads are great when you want to add a special touch to your table. On top of that, salads are always full of vitamins and all kinds of nutritional elements. And you particularly want that in the winter time. So, the more raw vegetables there are in your salad, the more nutrients you gain.
At the same time, herbs are not only healthy but may serve as a great decoration.
Feel free to play with various ingredients this winter yourself and see what you come up with.
However, if you need an idea to start with, see if you like my salad with roasted sweet potato, tomato and corn. It is pretty easy to make but extremely healthy and delicious! 😉
