Method:

Preheat oven to 200ºC.

Place the sweet potato on a baking tray and drizzle with a little olive oil, season with salt and sprinkle over the cumin seeds. Roast for 1 hour, turning every 20 min, then remove and set aside to cool.

Place a non-stick pan on medium-high heat and place the beetroot, balsamic and sugar in the pan, once the sugar has melted and the balsamic has reduced, toss a few times to coat and keep on the heat until the liquid has evaporated, set aside to cool.

Dry-fry the pine nuts, tossing occasionally in a pan until just beginning to brown, then remove from the heat and allow to cool.

To make the dressing: simply pour all of the ingredients into a bowl and whisk together, taste, and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Assemble by placing the lettuce leaves on a large serving dish and topping with the potato and beetroot, then break over feta, spoon over avo and sprinkle with pine nuts.

Drizzle liberally with the dressing and serve.
