Sweet Potato Salad

Ingredients

  • 3 large sweet potatoes (~900g)
  • 1 red bell pepper (diced)
  • 2 celery stalks (chopped)
  • 1/2 medium red onion (diced)
  • Sauce:
    • 1/4 cup safflower mayo
    • 2 heaping tablespoons 2% greek yogurt
    • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
    • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
    • pinches of cumin (to taste)
    • fresh orange juice (squeeze juice from a half an orange)
    • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (optional)
    • pinch of turmeric (optional)
    • sea salt & pepper to taste
  • Garnish:
    • fresh chopped green onion
    • 1/2  cup goat cheese crumble (or just to taste)

Steps

Step 1

Peel the sweet potatoes, then boil them until tender, about 12-15 minutes. Strain the potatoes and let them cool down to just about room temperature (can be warmer).

Step 2

In a bowl, mix together the ingredients for the sauce and season to taste with sea salt & pepper (or other spices if you want to make it your own).

Step 3

Chop the sweet potato into chunks.

Step 4

In a large bowl, add the sweet potato and chopped veggies and top with the sauce. Gently fold the ingredients together using a spatula.

Step 5

Serve warm or chilled.  I recommend covering the salad and placing it the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving so all the flavors come together.
