The flavors and aroma of this salad will soon make it a firm favorite with both your family and friends.

To make Spicy Sweet Potato Salad with a Dash of Black Seeds you will need the following ingredients:

• 2 cooked medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks
• 1 peeled and diced cooked beetroot
• 2 tablespoons of virgin olive oil (you can use any seed oil if you so wish)
• 1 teaspoon black seeds
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• 2 large handfuls of mixed salad leaves
• 1 small handful of rocket or mustard leaves
• 5 roughly chopped sun-dried tomatoes
• 1 small cucumber thinly sliced (or 1/3 of a standard English cucumber)
• 1 diced sweet chili pepper with seeds removed
• A handful of olives
• Balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and a small handful of feta cheese to finish off the salad

Method:

Separately cook the beetroot and sweet potatoes. Once cooked, peel the vegetables. Cut the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces and dice the beetroot into smaller portions.

Heat the olive oil in a pan and add black seeds. Once they sizzle, add the sweet potatoes, paprika, lemon juice, and salt to taste. Sauté for a few minutes before taking them off the stove. Allow the sweet potatoes to cool down to room temperature.

Toss together the rest of the ingredients (excluding the vinegar, olive oil, and feta cheese) until mixed well. Arrange these ingredients on a large plate.

Arrange the cooled sweet potatoes on top, drizzle with balsamic vinegar and olive oil to taste, and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the salad. Serve and enjoy.
