Sweet Potato and Mushroom Salad with Broth Dressing
Coming up to warmer weather, we may not feel like having hot bone broth as often. But did you know that you can use it cold in salad dressings? Try my healthy Sweet Potato and Mushroom Salad with Broth Dressing.
Who says you can’t make friends with salad? This one is so delicious and full of flavour as well as being incredibly nutrient dense.
It’s so filling, because of the good fats that it’s almost a meal in itself! You could easily add some grilled chicken or salmon if you wanted extra protein.
I cook the sweet potatoes in a pan with broth fat, but you could par-boil them and then finish off in a frying pan. The frying gives another level of flavour and caramelisation.
You could use a mix of salad leaves instead of spinach and feel free to add in whatever salad vegetables you have at home. The sesame seeds give it a nutty crunch and provide extra nutrients.
I use my Chicken Bone Broth Powder in this salad dressing, but you can use the Vegan Broth Powder if you want it to be vegetarian.
This salad is great to feed a crowd on a budget and perfect for barbecues or when you need to take a plate.
There are so many ways you can use bone broth powder in cooking – get creative!
