SWEET POTATO SALAD
I love sweet potatoes, especially sweet potato fries, but this unique recipe is my new favorite way to eat them! I cube the potatoes (no need to peel them) and microwave them, covered, in 2-3 tablespoons of water until just done (not mushy), stirring after a couple of minutes. Cooking the cubed potatoes in boiling water 7-10 minutes on top of the stove, or baking them, then cubing them, would work as well.
2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 1/4 pounds), cooked, cooled, and cubed
1 large apple, cubed
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons agave or honey
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
Place potatoes, apple, and onion in a large bowl. For dressing, whisk remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Drizzle over salad and toss to coat. Chill for two hours or more before serving. Makes about 6 servings.
