Number Of Ingredients 15

1 large sweet potato, peeled, halved crosswise, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
1 onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups large shreds cooked turkey
2 bunches watercress, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces (5 cups)
6 radishes, quartered
2 ounces crumbled cotija cheese (1/2 cup), feta cheese, or ricotta salata

Steps:

  • Make the vegetables: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Toss all of the ingredients on a rimmed baking sheet, and spread in a single layer. Roast, stirring once, until sweet potato wedges are golden and tender, about 25 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet.
  • Make the dressing and salad: Whisk lime juice, oil, and parsley in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in roasted vegetables and turkey. Toss with watercress, radishes, and half of the cheese. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top, and serve immediately.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much dressing.

This salad is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

This salad was a lot of work to make and it wasn't worth it. The flavors just didn't come together.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I would add some more spices or herbs next time.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would probably use less brown sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, so I left them out of the salad. It was still delicious without them.

This salad is a great make-ahead meal. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day.

I made this salad exactly as the recipe said and it turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change next time is to add a little more dressing.

I love the addition of watercress to this salad. It gives it a nice peppery flavor that really brightens up the dish.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover turkey. I always have a hard time finding creative ways to use it up, but this salad is a winner.

I'm not usually a fan of sweet potatoes, but I really enjoyed them in this salad. They were roasted perfectly and had a nice caramelized flavor.

I made this salad for dinner last night and it was so easy to put together. The flavors all worked really well together and it was a nice change from my usual salads.

This salad was a hit at my last potluck! The combination of sweet potatoes, turkey, and watercress is unique and delicious. I also liked the addition of the cranberries and walnuts for a bit of extra sweetness and crunch.
