Follow The Directions
01
Step
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
Spread sweet potatoes in a single layer onto a baking sheet. Lightly spray with cooking spray and season with 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)
03
Step
Roast in the preheated oven until tender and slightly caramelized, about 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer to a plate to cool completely. (25 minutes)
04
Step
While the sweet potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper until the sugar is dissolved. Let rest for at least 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (7 minutes)
05
Step
In a large bowl, gently combine the cooled sweet potatoes, diced mangoes, minced red onion, chopped cilantro, diced avocado, and sliced green onion. If using, add the minced habanero pepper. (5 minutes)
06
Step
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients. (3 minutes)
07
Step
Serve immediately at room temperature, or chill for later. (1 minute)
For a smoother dressing, you can emulsify it in a blender or shake it vigorously in a jar.
If you don't have habanero peppers, a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce will add a similar kick.
To prevent the avocado from browning, toss it with a little lemon juice before adding it to the salad.
This salad is even better the next day as the flavors have time to meld together.

Jun 28, 2025I found the habanero a bit too spicy for my taste, so I used a jalapeño instead. It was perfect!
