Source of Recipe


the web


List of Ingredients




4 cups peeled and grated sweet potatoes or yams
2 tart green apples. Granny Smith or Pippin, peeled, cored and chopped
½ cup dried red currants
½ cup pecan pieces, toasted
Juice of 1 orange
Juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/3 cup olive oil

Recipe



Mix the sweet potatoes, apples, currants and pecans in a large bowl. Combine the juices, vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk together, then add the oil in a thin stream, whisking constantly. Pour over the salad, toss to combine well, then refrigerate overnight. Serves 6-8.
Note: This salad must be made in advance and rest overnight so the raw sweet potatoes can soften and the flavors can combine.
