West African Sweet Potato and Black-Eyed Pea Bowl with Herb-Lime Dressing

This bowl keeps things simple — sweet potato cubes roasted until caramelized at the edges, spooned over spinach with black-eyed peas, cucumber, and red onion, then finished with a lime and cilantro dressing whisked together in minutes.

We built the flavor here around fresh herbs, citrus, and smoked paprika instead of salt, which keeps this bowl genuinely low in sodium. Sweet potatoes and spinach both bring potassium to the table, a mineral that fits naturally into a lower-sodium way of eating.

Roast a bigger batch of sweet potato if you're meal-prepping — it reheats well and makes assembling this bowl on a busy weeknight almost effortless. Drizzle the dressing on right before eating so it stays fresh and bright.
