Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup chopped cornichons or relish
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon honey
2 ribs celery, diced
Zest and juice from 1 lemon
1/2 small red onion, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup mayonnaise

Tips:

  • Use a variety of sweet potatoes for a more flavorful salad. White, orange, and purple sweet potatoes all have slightly different flavors and textures that will add depth to the dish.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes until they are tender but still hold their shape. This will help them keep their structure in the salad and prevent them from becoming too mushy.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing. The sweet potatoes are naturally sweet, so you don't want to overpower them with too much dressing.
  • Add some chopped nuts or seeds for a crunchy texture. Walnuts, pecans, almonds, and sunflower seeds all work well in this salad.
  • Serve the salad warm or at room temperature. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the sweet potatoes to soften slightly.

Conclusion:

This sweet heat potato salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a new salad recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
