Chorizo and Sweet Potato Salad is my recipe of the day. And this is a recipe I made a number of years ago after seeing a version online. Of course, I got cravings for it again. So I made another salad and took some new photos while I was at it.

I think it makes a perfect simple yet elegant side salad. As a matter of fact, I think it would also be great on a Thanksgiving table. Similarly, you could mix this up in a large salad bowl. And then guests could help themselves.

This would make a lovely luncheon salad or light dinner. We served it as a starchy side instead of potato or rice. Inspired by a recipe from Katie Quinn Davies.

Lots of flavors going on here! Who can resist the sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes and roasted red peppers with the assertive flavors of chorizo and Manchego, not to mention the delicious crunch of almonds and the bite of arugula? Oh my goodness!

This would make a perfect side salad for an elegant Autumn or Thanksgiving dinner.
