Equipment
- Veggie Chopper
- Blender
- Sheet Pan
Ingredients
- 3 sweet potatoes peeled and chopped in 1" chunks
- 1 white onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 2 green onions diced
- 3 slices turkey bacon or regular bacon
For the BBQ Ranch Sauce
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt Ranch Dressing
- 1 date
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Place the date in bowl of warm water. Soak 20 minutes to soften. Note, if your date is harder I recommend soaking overnight for best results.
- Preheat the oven to 425 F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the chopped sweet potatoes on the parchment paper in an even layer.
- Bake at 425 F for 30 minutes.
- While the potatoes cook, prepare the sauce by combining all the ingredients for the sauce in a blender. Blend on high until creamy and smooth. Note if it is too thick for your liking - add 1-2 tablespoons of water to thin.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven then reduce the heat to 350 F.
- Remove the potatoes from the sheet pan and transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Place the turkey bacon on the sheet pan the sweet potatoes were on.
- Bake the bacon at 350 F 10 minutes flipping half way through.
- Remove the bacon from the oven and set aside to cool while you prepare the salad.
- Add the chopped onions and red bell pepper to the mixing bowl with the sweet potatoes. Pour the sauce over the mixture and stir to combine.
- Roughly chop or crumble the bacon over the salad. Add the diced green onions, stir to combine.
- Serve immediately warm or serve chilled. If chilling, place in the refrigerator 20 minutes before serving.
