This is a very simple recipe and I wanted to share it because this is something I make often. It tastes clean, healthy and light which is why I love it.
You get a lot of salad in this recipe. I like to have it on a side as I go because I like having same amount of salad, or more, to amount of sweet potato. And I can´t fit all the salad on sweet potato so…you get it! 😊
Also, this quinoa salad is great on its own and it never goes to waste. You can have it with grilled halloumi, chicken, eggs…

2 sweet potatoes
1/2 red paprika
1 carrot
1 red onion
4 cherry tomatoes
1 avocado
1/4 cucumber
1 small can sweet corn (150gr)
1 small can black beans (190gr)
Small bunch of fresh parsley
2 dl Quinoa
4 dl water
Salt
1 lemon
Process
- Wash sweet potatoes, place them in an oven safe dish lined with parchment paper. Using knife, poke potatoes all around a few times.
- Bake at 200°C until cooked through/knife easily goes through. Time depends on the size. Mine were baking for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Wash vegetables and cut into same size pieces that match size of corn and beans. Add washed and drained corn and beans. Mix.
- Place water in a smaller pot, add salt and bring to boil. Once water is boiling, add washed and drained quinoa, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer under the lock for around 10-15 minutes or until all water disappears. Leave to cool slightly.
- In a big bowl mix vegetables with quinoa.
- Mash avocado with some lemon juice.
- When potatoes are baked, leave them to cool for a bit. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and open up. Top with salad and quinoa mixture and some avocado. Sprinkle over with parsley leaves.
