## Roasted Sweet Potato Rice Salad?is not your standard summer salad.

It is delicious in the summer but this one is also great for those colder months
when you just need something to warm your belly.

If I may add, it’s also a great recipe to whip up if you’re in dire need of something
healthy and light after all the heavy meals you munched on during the holidays!
