  3. In the same mixing bowl, toss the spinach with the remaining olive oil. I have not seasoned these because even the feta is salted and so are the sweet potatoes

  4. When the sweet potatoes are done, remove them and layer over the spinach. Follow this up with the walnuts and the cheese
  5. Serve the roasted sweet potatoes salad with feta, warm or at room temperature, as is or as a side along with your roasts. Enjoy!
