Roast sweet potato and black barley salad with coconut dressing

A vibrant, African-inspired salad that hits all the right notes—sweet, nutty, and spiced. Think caramelised roast sweet potato, chewy black barley, and a sprinkle of toasted coconut, nuts, and seeds for crunch. It’s all tied together with a creamy, fragrant berbere-spiced coconut dressing that brings just the right amount of heat.

To Serve

Add a handful of fresh coriander or mint for added freshness. Serve as a hearty side to grilled chicken, halloumi or whatever protein you’re feeling tonight.
