Amazing! I didn't make the salad. I had some artichokes I served it with that I needed to cook up.
0 HelpfulOkay, my family is a bit tired of sweet potatoes. Worried they wouldn’t eat it, I also made sweet potatoes with sausage rounds (which was everyone’s favorite) and one piece of avo toast bread per person (second favorite). Sweet potato toast was least favorite of group.
0 HelpfulHonestly, I'm only reviewing the salad, even just the dressing at that! haha! I made the toast for breakfast, but without the egg, so it was just a mashed up avocado on toast - not much to review (but delicious!) I made the salad dressing and put it on a butter lettuce & berry salad (blackberries, raspberries & strawberries). It was great. This dressing is definitely going on the keeper list!
0 HelpfulSimple and flavorful. I wouldn't have thought to use zaatar here, so that was a fun addition. The dressing was a bit on the sweet side, so I'll cut the honey next time I make this.
