Cut 2 medium sweet potatoes (or 4 baby sweet potatoes) into cubes. Toss them in olive oil and the same seasonings used for the quinoa. Roast in the oven until golden. 3. Prepare the salad by combining the cooked quinoa, cabbage slaw mix, 1 diced red pepper, 1/2 sliced cucumber, 1/4 sliced red onion, 1 diced green apple, 3-4 sliced sundried tomatoes, a handful of pumpkin seeds, a handful of crushed almonds, chopped parsley, and crumbled feta cheese in a large bowl. 4. For the dressing, mix together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of dijon mustard, the juice of 1 lemon, 1 tablespoon of honey, and salt and pepper to taste. 5. Pour the dressing over the assembled salad and toss to combine.
