During fall and winter, this sweet potato salad is a must-make recipe! It’s layered with flavor, texture, and perfect for the cold weather months. I enjoy it as a nutrient-dense weeknight meal, but it definitely shines at any holiday dinner.
This sweet potato salad is a true ode to fall with perfectly seasoned roasted sweet potatoes, lentils, cranberries, and my favorite savory-sweet maple mustard tahini dressing. It’s almost like an autumn twist of my broccoli salad (a potluck favorite) because this salad is also great for gatherings, potlucks, and holiday parties! Trust me, when November hits, it’s going to be a non-negotiable Thanksgiving side dish. Plus, just getting back to basics, I love that it’s loaded with a whole bunch of good-for-you nutrients. And bonus, it’s vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free!

I've been eating this salad on repeat because it just makes me (and my gut/digestion) feel so good! I mention this at the end of the video, but I'll also dice up my herbed baked chicken and add it to the salad as well, for an extra protein boost. Can't wait to hear what you think of this one! xo – Lisa
Why can’t Americans call the Herb (yes there is a H that needs to be pronounced) "coriander" like the rest of the world ?
Suggestion: DO NOT PEEL THE SKIN from any vegetable. You remove essential fibre and nutrients. All you have to do is wash the skin.
Looks so good! I’m looking for more recipes like this for orthodox fasting!
Just tried this and it is so good! I made it as written, except I didnt have parsley. That would've been even better. The dressing (tho I couldn't imagine it would be tasty) is perfect for this. Well done putting this recipe together! It is healthy, filling and delicious. ❤
I Love this Idea.😃♥️😍👍🏻
yum! saving this for thanksgiving! thanks for the recipe <3
Looks delicious, yammy ,iam watching from india
Sweet potatoes are my favorite. Can’t wait to checkout all the recipes. This one looks so delicious!❤
Just made this with shallots instead of onion and pepitas instead of lentils. All I can say is wow 10/10 🎉
Looks wonderful. I can't wait to make it.
Oh yum, was wondering what do do with the sweet potatoes in my kitchen, but sans cilantro soap and no cranberries as they aren’t available in my country. I’ll add some chopped pecans perhaps.
This looks yummy!
Multumesc frumos ❤
Making this tonight!
I need to make this. Oh and by the way your recipes are my favorite
Looking absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing your lovely recipe, I'll try making this salad this week <3 As my diet is allium free, can I ask would it be alright to omit the garlic cloves for the dressing? Is there something else that I can substitute?
This looks so yummy!❤
I add roasted cubed sweet potatoes to soups and chili
What would you suggest as a dressing if one is allergic to tahini (sesame)? I will try vinaigrette
I made it and it's fantastic
use parchment! no clean up
Those are 🍠 yams
Love this! Ive been making versions of this for many years. ❤
OMG I can't wait to make this – TOMORROW for sure! And I like the idea of making this as a side on turkey day – If i'm not mistaken this is all GF! I have a dear friend that is gf and would love to have this for her as part of our thanksgiving spread!!! Btw, new subscriber here! xoxo
This looks delicious!
@Downshiftology – Could the lentil be replaced with other items such as farro? Could diced roasted beets be added?
Looks amazing! ❤
Yummy!
im obsessed with not being obsessed 😮
Will try it out tomorrow! Thank you so much, Lisa! This salad looks delicious ❤
Looks delicious. For crunch pistachio or sunflower seeds would me great
Can't wait to make this salad for Thanksgiving. Have family members with diet restrictions and this is perfect. Thank you for sharing it!
Looks delicious! Will definitely try it!
I made a similar one on a bed of arugula with feta cheese and toasted walnuts one year. I like the addition of lentils here for more substance.
I’m so glad I came across this! Thanks Lisa!
