Spinach, Bacon and Sweet Potato Salad

I am often looking for new food to make. I often get myself stuck in a rut and will eat the same thing day in and day out. I used to think that salad was a side dish, something to use as a filler to make my plate look full. Sald is not just a side dish. You can make it satisfying. Below is one of my favorite salads to make.

You will need:

• 2 sweet potatoes, cut into pieces
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• salt and black pepper
• 2 slices of bacon
• 1 red pepper, chopped
• 1 small red onion, sliced
• 1 tbsp giner, minced
• 1 tps ground cumin
• Juice of an orange
• 500g fresh spinach

How to make it:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees c.
• Put potatos on a baking sheet, drizzle with two tbsp of the oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss to coat.
• Roast, turing occasionally, until crisp.
• Drain on paper towels and pour off fat.
• Put the pan back on medium head; add remaining oil to the pan.
• When hot add red pepper, onion and ginger.
• Cook until just softened; stir in cumin an bacon (sliced into pieces)
• Stir in orange juice and turn off heat.
• Put spinache in a large bowl
• Add potatoes and warm dressing.
• Toss
