Rsc#11 - Salad With a Lime Dressing

Recipe #283004 | 40 min | 15 min prep | add private note

A flavour packed salad with a refreshing zesty sweet lime dressing. Roasted sweet potatoes, baby spinach leaves, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese and crispy apple. Can be served as a light lunch with some crusty bread, as a side salad or as a meal with grilled or pan-fried chicken or seafood. Slice the apples and add the dressing close to serving time.UPDATE: I've left this recipe as it was entered to RSC#11. Feel free to vary the quantities of ingredients. AS we do not have key limes available in Australia-I used regular limes- perhaps key limes are tarter. I had fun making this recipe and being part of RSC.

This was a very good salad combo! But the dressing was a bit off, it kinda took away from the greatness of the mixture of the other salad ingredients. Next time I will use a diffrent dressing, or skip a dressing all together.

    4-This was served by CarolAT as part of the RSC dinner which she hosted. The salad was very good with an interesting combination of ingredients. The quantity of feta cheese seemed to be a little to much and was reduced to about half and one apple would have been enough. The salad dressing was perfect for the other ingredients. Good luck in RSC #11.

    Made just the dressing over a simple salad of romaine lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes....a nice change from our regular oil and vinegar dressing. Great when making a mexican dish for dinner! Thanks!

    I made and served this salad for an RSC dinner I had with friends. We really liked the presentation of all the colors and textures in the salad. The lime dressing was a good match for all the salad ingredients. I could not find smoked paprika so I had to use regular paprika on the sweet potatoes. This was a good salad, however, a pinch of paprika was not enough to taste the flavor. Next time, I will add at least 1/2 to 1 teaspoon to the sweet potatoes. Also, I felt that 6 ounces of feta cheese would really overpower the salad so I only put in half of the amount called for.
