Ingredients

1 sweet potato (12 ounces), peeled and diced (1/2-inch)
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
¼ teaspoon salt, divided
½ cup packed fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
10 cups baby spinach
1 (15 ounce) can low-sodium cannellini beans, rinsed
2 cups shredded cabbage
1 cup chopped red bell pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Toss sweet potatoes, 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/8 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl. Transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet and roast, stirring once, until tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool for at least 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, place basil, the remaining 1/4 cup oil, vinegar, shallot, mustard and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a mini food processor. Process until mostly smooth.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
