Baked Sweet Potato & Greek Salad

This is ultimate healthy comfort food. The combination of sweet potato and feta cheese is lovely; it feels really wholesome. The recipe is extremely quick and easy. There were six of us, and the ingredients below fed us almost exactly. There was enough salad for second helpings too. We used Morrison’s value salad cheese - not the nicest, but definitely passable and you could always upgrade.

Fed 6 for dinner: approx. 89p per person, per meal.

·         Preheat the Oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.

·         Scrub the sweet potatoes and microwave them for 10 minutes.

·         In the meantime, chop the cheese, tomatoes, onions and cucumber  and put them in a large bowl with the olives.

·         Dribble in the olive oil, red wine vinegar (1 tbsp) and oregano (1 tbsp).

·         Put it to one side whilst you deal with the potatoes...

·         When the potatoes have finished in the microwave, take them out and put them in a baking tray.

·         Drizzle over some olive oil, sea salt and black pepper.

·         Put them in the oven for around 20 minutes, but keep an eye on them.

·         When they are completely softened, stab with a knife to check, and take them out of the oven.

·         We piled them on a plate so everybody could help themselves.

   

   Could be bulked out with some pitas or homemade garlic bread.
