Ready for Autumn Salad

Ingredients

  • Sweet potato
  • Olive oil
  • Cayenne
  • Paprika
  • Chilli powder 
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Chicken
  • Apple cider vinegar 
  • Soy sauce or honey bbq sauce
  • Brown sugar
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Water
  • Butter
  • Brown sugar
  • Cayenne
  • Lettuce
  • Green onion
  • Feta
  • Green apple
  • Grapes or cranberries
  • Brianna's salad dressing... The one with a strawberry on it

Directions

  1. Heat oven 450F
  2. Cut sweet potato into small cubes
  3. Put in pan, drizzle in olive oil. Sprinkle cayenne, paprika, chili powder. Toss. Put in oven. About 25 min.
  4. Put chicken in pan on low with brown sugar, table spoon or two of apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce or sweet bbq (I did a tablespoon of both) cook on low
  5. Put a handful of pumpkin seeds in a tablespoon of water and boil in water until water is gone. Then add a tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon and then some of brown sugar and a sprinkle of cayenne. Stir to a bubbly boil until slightly thicker. Arrange in pan so none are overlapping, and remove from heat. It will probably turn into a type of brittle almost and that's okay. Just break apart once cool.
  6. Cut lettuce, green pepper, Apple and grapes.
  7. Put together with feta, nuts, chicken, and sweet potato 

Notes

I think I must be ready for the Fall... apple, sweet potato, pumpkin seeds? Geeze! Anyway, today when I opened up my fridge, wondering what to make for dinner, I looked at my sweet potato and remembered a salad Lindsay made one time for the family. And it just went from there. Jeff said it was one of the best salads he's had in his life... So maybe you'll like it too. Sorry for no measurements. If you have questions just text me. It took me about 40 minutes to make with three crazies running around and melting down. The salad looks really pretty with all the color.  Enjoy!
