It’s still fairly warm here with temperatures up to 27 degrees C yesterday. I used to live in Edinburgh and usually by this time of year I would have to crank up the heating. Not here though. Not yet anyway.
Even with the balmy weather, I really fancied a warm “autumny” salad full of gorgeous bright colours and flavours. So for dinner last night, I entertained my craving and prepared this…
Ingredients
• Chicken breast fillets (marinade overnight with garlic granules, paprika, oregano, salt, cracked black pepper & a little olive oil)
• Mixed salad leaves
• Mini Kumato tomatoes (they have a sweeter flavour and that stunning dark colour)
• 1 sweet potato (diced & roasted in olive oil, seasoning and honey)
• Sunflower seeds
• Pomegranate seeds
• Juice of half a lemon, honey & olive oil to dress the salad
Method
1. Pre heat oven to 150 degrees C and roast the diced sweet potato till cooked. Mine took less than 20 mins to cook so do keep an eye on them.
2. Pan grill the chicken breast fillets till golden and set aside but make sure it stays warm.
3. Assemble your salad ~ place your mixed salad in a big bowl, throw in the tomatoes, add the warm sweet potatoes, the dressing, pomegranate seeds, sunflower seeds, seasoning and mix well.
4. Plate the salad and top it with the pan grilled chicken fillet.
Serve with warm crusty bread…
Colourful, filling, full of flavours and so simple to prepare! I hope you will give it a go.

Wow very healthy:-)
Thank you! I do love a colourful plate!☺️
Wow, lovely recipe. I love the mixture of cold and warm salad with the baked potatoes. It sounds absolutely delish… 🙂
And I hope the weather will continue to be nice for you. We currently have 32°C and I love it, I don’t want to go back home….
Thanks Tina! I’m still so jealous you’re in Asia! I hope you are having a fantastic time! Tried anymore bugs or snakes?😝
You know Im not a fan of salad, but this one I would eat without any problem, it has everything I like!! Looks so tasty and healthy… 😀
Thank you my dear Allane! I hope you’ll give it a go! 😘
One of these days alone at home I will 😀
What a fantastic plate, dear! I always believe the more colorful the plate, the healthier and more flavorful it’s likely to be. This definitely looks like a delicious meal. It’s been hovering around 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit here, which is enjoyable right now, because I know it’ll go away soon. Hope you’re enjoying your week!
Thanks hun! I have a firm believe in that too. Not a fan of brown, dull looking plates. Means it was either deep fried or there aren’t any veg in it! Ooh I’d have to convert your temperature into C. No clue on farenheits lol! It’s around 18 degrees C here now and I got back from my run an hour ago, time for a feed me thinks!😘
I love the colors in this dish – beautiful.:)
