Ingredients

2 tablespoons pine nuts
12 ounces sweet potato cut in cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt & pepper
2 oranges cut in sections
1 ounce spinach
1 ounce arugula
3 ounces feta cheese crumbled

Dressing

1.5 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tablespoon mustard
1/2 tablespoon vinegar rice, white wine, apple cider
1/2 tablespoon honey
salt & pepper

Instructions

Place the raw pine nuts on a baking sheet and place the baking sheet in the oven. Turn the oven on to 350 degrees F. By the time the oven is at 350 degrees, the pine nuts are roasted.
Peel the sweet potato, cut them in cubes of about 1/2-3/4 inch. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Make sure all cubes are coated and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in an oven of 425 degrees F for about 30-40 minutes or until the cubes are fork tender. Allow to cool a little.
Section the oranges.
Prepare the dressing by mixing orange juice, olive oil, mustard, vinegar, honey, salt & pepper.
Place spinach and arugula in a bowl and add sweet potato cubes, orange sections, pine nuts, feta (crumbled). Add the dressing at the very last moment and mix.

Tips

You can also roast the pine nuts in a skillet. Place them in a dry skillet, turn the heat to medium-low and cook them, stirring occasionally, until they’re golden-brown. The total toasting time will take about 3 to 5 minutes.
Section the oranges by remove the skin and pith, then cut between the segments to create wedges. These wedges are also called supremes.
