Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. To prepare ingredients, chop unpeeled sweet potato into 1 cm cubes, shuck and remove corn kernels, finely chop red onion, peel and crush garlic cloves, drain and rinse kidney beans, halve cherry tomatoes, zest and juice lime, wash baby spinach, pick coriander leaves.
Place the sweet potato in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add half of olive oil and toss to coat well. Place the sweet potato in a single layer on the prepared tray and cook in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until tender.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the corn kernels, red onion and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until just tender. Add the red kidney beans, cherry tomatoes, lime zest and juice. Cook, tossing, for 1 minute or until warmed through (take care not to break up the beans).
In a large bowl combine the baby spinach, roast sweet potato, fetta cheese, coriander and kidney bean mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Divide the salad between bowls and serve.
