Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds of sweet potatoes
• Salt preferably Greek sea salt
• 1 large red onion or 1 bunch of scallions, trimmed
• 2 bunches of fresh arugula, trimmed
• 1/2 cup Zoefull's Wild Olive Oil
• 3-4 tbsp red wine vinegar 
• 1 cup Greek feta or goat’s milk cheese optional 

Instructions

• Clean the sweet potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot filled with cold, salted water. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat, then lower the heat and let the potatoes simmer until they are tender yet firm approximately 15 minutes.
• Remove the sweet potatoes from the pot, let them cool down a bit, then peel (if boiled) and cut them into 1 ½-inch / 4 cm chunks.
• Place the chunks in a serving bowl. Alternatively, you can peel and cube the sweet potatoes first, then roast or grill them under a broiler, tossed with some olive oil and salt.
• Peel the onion, cut it in half, and slice it thinly. If you're using scallions, trim them and cut them into thin rounds.
• Roughly chop the arugula. 
• Combine the arugula and onions or scallions with the sweet potatoes in the bowl. Add salt to taste, then mix with olive oil and vinegar.
• If desired, include crumbled feta or goat's milk cheese and serve.
