  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss 2 medium peeled sweet potatoes cut into 1-inch cubes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.

  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, whisk together 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp honey, and 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil in a small bowl until emulsified to make the dressing.
  4. Step 4: In a large salad bowl, combine 4 cups mixed baby greens, the warm roasted sweet potatoes, 1/3 cup toasted chopped pecans, and 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle the apple cider vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently until everything is coated and ready to serve.
