Ingredients
  • 6 small red or yellow onions
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (12 ounces)
  • 4-6 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
  • 12 cups mixed greens (16 ounces)
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, cubed
  • 6 ounces cooked chicken breast, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 7 ounces Cabot 50% Light Cheddar cheese
  • Non-fat raspberry dressing
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Peel onions, then cut lengthwise into 4-6 sections, leaving root intact. Cut sweet potatoes into 1- by 3-inch fingers. Spread onions, potatoes and garlic out on baking sheet with sides; drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with red pepper, tossing to combine. Cover with aluminum foil and roast for 30 minutes or until tender. Uncover and continue roasting until vegetables are well caramelized on outside, turning occasionally, about 20 minutes longer.

Toss greens with dressing to taste. Divide among 6 plates and top with roasted vegetables, pineapple and chicken. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Grate Cheddar cheese into ribbons on top of each salad and garnish with mint.
