This salad makes a lovely, refreshing light supper. I have mixed an unusual selection of vegetables to create a dish strong with vibrant colour and filled with interesting textures and flavours.

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Put the sweet potatoes in a roasting tin, drizzle with olive oil, salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Roast for 20-25 minutes, turning once.
  • To make the dressing, mix all the ingredients together and season to taste.
  • Put the sweet potato in a bowl with the rocket, pomegranate and goat’s cheese.
  • Serve drizzled with the dressing and sprinkled with pumpkin seeds.
