Ingredients

Salad

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 sweet potato peeled and diced into 1/4” cubes
  • 1 pear diced into 1/4” cubes
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 5 oz baby spinach leaves
  • 1 cup canned lentils drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup dried cherries
  • 2 tbsp chevre crumbled
  • 1/3 cup Dorset Cereals Honey Granola

Dressing

Instructions

  • Preheat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add in the sweet potato and cook until lightly caramelized on all sides, about 3 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of water, cover the pan and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
  • Let the water evaporate, then add in the pear and honey and cook uncovered until the honey coats the potato and the pear, and both yield a golden brown colour on all sides. Set aside to cool.
  • In a bowl or a platter, lay down the spinach leaves, top with the lentils, pear, sweet potatoes, cherries, chevre and Dorset Cereals Honey Granola.
  • In a jar or bowl, mix together the honey, vinegar, oil, mustard and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve the salad at room temperature and the dressing alongside the salad.
