Salad for dinner? No, we're not kidding. Eggs and roasted sweet potatoes make this salad recipe a full meal, not a sidekick. Feel free to swap in whatever protein (like chickpeas, rotisserie chicken, or roasted salmon) and roasted vegetables (brussels sprouts, carrots, broccoli) you may have on hand.

Step 3
Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 425°. Place sweet potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with oil, and season with kosher salt; turn to coat. Arrange cut side down; roast until tender and cut sides are browned, 20–25 minutes. Let cool.
Step 4
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Carefully lower eggs into water and cook 8 minutes. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and let cool. Remove eggs from ice water, pat dry, and peel.
Step 5
Toss radicchio, fennel, and vinegar in a large bowl; season with sea salt. Drizzle ½ cup dressing down sides of bowl. Using your hands, fold salad, working from the bottom out toward the sides of the bowl, until evenly coated in dressing.
Step 6
Transfer salad to a platter. Tear sweet potatoes and eggs into 1½" pieces and nestle into salad. Season egg yolks with sea salt. Drizzle more dressing over and top with cashews and cilantro. Serve with remaining dressing alongside.
