"All you need to know for a healthier child...."
This is lovely and simple, and much more nutritious than a traditional potato salad. Sweet potatoes are nutritional powerhouses, offering more vitamins and minerals than white potatoes, including beta-carotene and vitamin C. It is guaranteed to brighten up any picnic and the crumbled feta adds a delicious saltiness that works really well with the sweet potato. We like to add a handful of mixed seeds to dishes in order to provide a boost of healthy omega oils, as well as a lovely crunch.
