Nutty Sweet Potato Salad Recipes

DILL SWEET POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cube and steam sweet potatoes 8-10 minutes, until easily pierced with a fork.
• White they cool a bit, dice the cucumber and combine with the rest of the ingredients.
• Add in cooled sweet potatoes and stir well.
• Taste for salt and pepper and chill or serve room temperature.

SWEET AND NUTTY MOROCCAN COUSCOUS

Steps:

• Pour the vegetable broth into a large saucepan, and bring to a boil. Add the butter, apricots, dates and raisins. Boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir in the couscous. Cover, and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in the cinnamon and toasted almonds, and serve.

SWEET POTATO AND CHICORY SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Pierce the sweet potatoes in several places with a fork, place on a baking sheet, and roast until they are tender when pierced, about 1 hour. Let cool, peel, and cut into 3/4-inch chunks.
• Cut the radicchio in half, cut away the core, then tear the leaves into bite-size pieces and place in a salad bowl.
• Trim the core and any dark green outer leaves and leaf tips from the frisée. Tear the pale yellow center leaves into bite-size pieces. Cut the endive crosswise into 1-inch rounds. Add the frisée and endive to the salad bowl and toss to mix.
• Add enough of the vinaigrette to coat the salad lightly (you may not need it all) and toss well. Add the sweet potatoes and toss again gently. Taste for seasoning. Divide the salad among salad plates. With a vegetable peeler or cheese plane, shave cheese over each portion, dividing it evenly. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy with Cakebread Cellars Sauvignon Blanc or another dry white wine with good acidity.
