Ingredients
Salad:

- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley
- 1 cup garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
- 1 chopped avocado
Dressing:

- 1/2 tsp sea salt or pink Himalayan
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp Herbs de Provence seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cube the sweet potatoes, drizzle with a little olive oil, and roast for 30-40 minutes or until tender. Let them cool before assembling the salad.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, and Herbes de Provence until smooth and well combined.
- Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, cherry tomatoes, chopped parsley, avocado and garbanzo beans.
- Toss & Serve: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly. Serve immediately or let it chill in the fridge for enhanced flavors.
