Stuff to know
This will be enough for 25-30 people.
It is possible to roast the sweet potato ahead of time but only assemble the salad right before serving.
The amount of dressing is to taste. Don’t drown the salad.
It might be wise to remove the stalks of the spinach leaves if they are quite large. Otherwise, you are eating tooth picks...
Replace the spinach by mixed leaves and the feta with goat cheese.
Don’t overcook the sweet potato or it will become too soft and mushy to enjoy.
The amount of spices for roasting the sweet potato is to taste.
