When asked to bring an "alternative salad" to a party, I quickly scanned the contents of my kitchen and googled: sweet potato & salad. I was inspired by this recipe and came up with the following. Basically that disclaimer is to say that there are multiple ways to make a salad. Have fun, look through your kitchen and create something new! :)
-3 large sweet potatoes (cubed) seasoned with Smoked Paprika, oven roasted and cooled
*oven roasting: oil a pan, cube sweet potatoes, toss in the oil, sprinkle generously with smoked paprika and cook at 400* for about 30 minutes, turn and continue to cook till edges are crispy but not burned
-2 c. Corn
-2 cans Black Beans, rinsed and drained
-1 green pepper, diced
- multi colored sweet peppers (Red, Yellow, Orange mini peppers) about 10, diced
-1 bunch Cilantro, chopped
-1/4 Red Onion, minced
- Kale, a couple leaves, minced (very optional, but will make the salad go further)
-2 Avocados, diced
Dressing:
** This is an approximation!! I have never measured this part!! Make to taste, and please taste before you pour over the salad!
-1/2 c. Mayo
- 1 T. Chipotle Tabasco
Before serving pour the juice of 1 lime over the salad and toss.
Note: The sweet potatoes could be made a day in advance and keep well in the fridge.
