Method

  1. Simmer the sweet potato slices in salted water for about 5 minutes until only just turning tender (they cook quicker than ordinary potatoes). Drain, cool, then toss with 2 tbsp olive oil and season.
  2. Heat the barbecue and cook the sweet potato slices for a few minutes each side, carefully turning only once, until completely tender and very chargrilled.
  3. Toss the spinach, pine nuts and red onion together and scatter over a large serving platter. Top with the feta.
  4. Whisk the balsamic, 1 tbsp olive oil, honey and mustard together and season well.
  5. Pile the sweet potato on top of the salad and drizzle with the dressing.

    I think the recipe forgot to tell us to roast the red onion before adding it to the spinach and pine nuts. I did, and it tasted very good. I wouldn't waste it on the dog ... it's too good for that!

    The first time I ever prepared Sweet Potato. I love the flavor. The dressing was really nice! I actually didn't grill the onion, but cut it really fine. Nice summery salad.

    This is really tasty and goes brilliantly with grilled meats on the BBQ. I didn't use all the dressing on the salad as there was a lot of it, but put the remainder in a squeezy bottle for people to help themselves to more if they wanted. I sliced the onions thinly and put them in iced water to take of the edge before using them in the salad.

    We loved this very tasty salad. Perfect with grilled meat or chicken Like others did not roast the onion just sliced it very fine. Enjoyed the crunch provided by the pine nuts.

    Delicious bbq accompaniment! Sliced the potato (left the skin on cos there was no indication in the recipe!) and microwaved for ease. Threaded chunks of red onion on skewers and bbq'ed with the potatoes. The hot potatoes melted the feta and the dressing was yum - too much for this recipe but kept in the fridge to make again!

    Excellent salad with lovely flavour. I didn't roast the onion and it taste fine. I did however roast the sweet potato rather than bbq as I prefer it that way. Served it with a quiche and smashed potatoes for the in laws and they were very impressed.

    I served this dish hot and not as a salad. I cubed and roasted the sweet potatoes with the sliced red onion until cooked through. I then added the toasted pine nuts, feta cheese and spinach and heated through in a hot oven for a few minutes until the cheese started to melt and the spinach wilted. Then stirred in the dressing. Served with grilled tuna. Sublime - all the family loved it.

    This a great recipe. I didn't cook the onion but as suggested previously, cut it thinly and popped it into some cold water for a few minutes and it was delicious. The sweetness of the potato and honey worked so well with the onion, feta and balsamic vinegar.
