Ingredients

2 small sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 cups)

4 small red and golden beets, peeled and cut into 1/3-inch pieces (about 2 cups)

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided 

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 

1 teaspoon Creole seasoning

1 teaspoon onion powder 

Pinch of sugar 

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar 

2 cups finely shredded green cabbage 

2 cups finely shredded red cabbage 

1/2 cup sliced green onions 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss together the sweet potatoes and beets on the baking sheet. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of the oil over top, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread into a single layer and roast until the potatoes are cooked through and the beets are tender, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk together the mustard, Creole seasoning, onion powder and sugar in a large salad bowl. Whisk in the vinegar, then whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon oil in a slow stream. Continue whisking until the dressing is emulsified.
  4. Add the green and red cabbage and green onions to the bowl and toss to coat with the dressing. Add the roasted potatoes and beets and toss gently to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.

I really love roasted sweet potatoes and beets so this salad intrigued me! The dressing was a bit too salty and one dimensional for me. I would add more honey or sugar to it next time.
