- Toss dressing with potato, spinach, and pepper. Serve immediately.

- Comments: This salad is chock full of vitamins and minerals. Sweet potatoes provide beta-carotene (a precursor of vitamin A), vitamin C, and potassium. Spinach contributes iron and vitamin B2.
- The salad dressing is less acidic than most, allowing the orange flavor to come through. To make ahead, prep your ingredients the night before, chilling the dressing in an airtight container and the vegetables in separate sandwich bags.
