Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 medium-size red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/4 inch dice [See how on streaming video]
4 scallions, white and light green parts, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Place the sweet potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until just tender, 7 to 10 minutes (don't overcook or your salad will be mushy and falling apart.) Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, make the dressing. Whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, cilantro, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Add the red bell pepper and scallions to the potatoes and toss with the dressing. Season again with salt and pepper. Serve warm or refrigerate and bring to room temperature before serving.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices to the dressing and that helped a lot. I also think it would be better with some chopped red onion or cilantro.

This salad was easy to make and very tasty. I used canned black beans and corn, which made it even quicker. The dressing was delicious and really made the salad. I will definitely be making this again!

I was not impressed with this salad. The sweet potatoes were undercooked and the dressing was too sour. I would not recommend this recipe.

I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by this salad! I'm not usually a fan of sweet potatoes, but this salad was so light and flavorful, I couldn't stop eating it. The chili-lime dressing was the perfect complement to the sweetness of the potatoe
