Chipotle Lime Sweet Potato +
Black Bean Salad
Recently, I’ve been really drawn to upping my vegetarian meal game. And salads are always a good way to add more vegetables and leafy greens to your diet.
I love the different layers in this salad – oh, and the colors are great too! Sweet potato bites with creamy black beans all topped with a great dairy free chipotle and smoked paprika dressing. I love using peppery arugula – it holds it natural flavor and pairs nicely with the fresh tomatoes, cilantro and CHIPS! Always nice to have a crunch in any salad.
I used Primal Kitchen Chipotle Lime Mayo in this Chipotle Lime Sweet Potato and Black Bean Salad with Arugula recipe – it’s a great addition to your sandwich routine and mixing it up in a salad dressing. I love that they don’t use soy or canola oil in their recipes – PLUS it’s Paleo friendly and sugar free!
Make extra sweet potatoes and black beans to serve this ALL week!
I'm loving these salads.
