ROASTED SWEET POTATO AND RED ONION SALAD

Are you looking for an insanely easy, exceptionally delicious and healthy meal that you can literally THROW TOGETHER?!  Ok, not literally.  Throwing food almost never works for making things delicious unless it's pizza dough.  But you get the idea.  This dish is so simple and shockingly tasty.  I mean, I was shocked.  When I started it I thought I might've had an idea that was headed south faster than the snowbirds in January.  BUT. BUT.  BUT!!!!  Yes, three buts.  I was SO wrong.  Make it!  Please, please make it.  Then photograph it and share it with me on Instagram (hashtag #ahouseinthehills)  It will make my week.  It's seriously the best thing since this salad when you guys share your kitchen adventures with me, I get huge amounts of satisfaction from it. Probably weird amounts.  Not creepy-werid, good weird.  OK!  I'll go now.  xx- Sarah

I'm whole-heartedly and admittedly addicted to roasted sweet potatoes. I love the crunchiness from the pecans. This looks amazing!!!

this looks SO delicious! Sweet potatoes always end up being too sweet for me (ha!) but with the red onions, shallots etc it's sounds just PERFECT! Can't wait to try it :)

Okay, okay, okay...I will give this a shot with a twist. I am going slice my sweet potatoes thinner and drizzle the dish with balsamic. My little one is balsamic junkie and I am stocked with a few different balsamic bottles (all containing the grape must without caramel or sugars added of course.)
