1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Sweet Potatoes: In a medium pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until soft but not mushy. Drain and let cool.

    Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, tahini, apple cider vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

      Assemble the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sweet potatoes and leafy greens. Drizzle the creamy dressing over the top.

        Add Extras: If desired, fold in chopped walnuts and dried cranberries for added crunch and sweetness.

          Toss and Serve: Gently toss everything together until the salad is well coated with the dressing. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to enhance flavors.
