Sweet potato salad
Everyone loves potato salad, so why not try it with vitamin-packed, flavorful sweet potatoes for a healthy and tasty change? Regular orange sweet potatoes work great here, but if you can find white sweet potatoes, you’ll be able to please fussy eaters with a salad that more closely resembles traditional potato salad.
Ingredients:
4-5 medium sweet potatoes, washed well and chopped into bite-sized cubes
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/2 cup red onion, chopped
6 slices bacon or vegetarian bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/3 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Mix the coconut milk, olive oil, vinegar, chopped herbs and salt together in a small jar. Put the lid on tightly and shake well.
- Bring a couple cups of water to a boil in medium-large pot fitted with a steamer basket. Add the chopped sweet potato to the basket. Steam for 15 to 20 minutes until tender.
- Place the sweet potatoes in a serving bowl and allow to cool completely.
- Add the chopped celery, onions and bacon to the bowl, then pour the dressing on top.
- Toss gently and chill well before serving.
