- 4 spring onions
Cheese:

Greens:

Instructions
- Warm the oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare the sweet potatoes by thoroughly washing and placing them on a baking tray.

- Once potatoes are perfectly cooked, carefully tear them into rustic chunks and distribute evenly across serving plates.
- Gently toss fresh rocket (arugula) leaves with the prepared tomato and spring onion mixture, creating a vibrant and aromatic salad component.
- Artfully layer the dressed rocket over the warm potato pieces, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
- Crumble premium feta cheese generously across the salad, allowing the creamy texture to complement the roasted potatoes.
- Finish the dish with a delicate drizzle of one teaspoon of olive oil and a final sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper for added depth and complexity.
