Sweet Potato Salad
Thursday, August 12th, 2010As promised, a delicous nutritious summer salad.
2 large yams
2 “regular” potatoes
1 cup mayo
3 TBS mango chutney
2-3 TBS curry powder
4 chopped scallions
1 TBS chopped parsley
Cook potatoes. Yams cook more quickly (about 5-6 min) so add them about 3 min after the other. Drain & cool.
For dressing mix mayo, chutney, curry, salt & pepper in a food proccessor or blender. Adjust seasoning for personal preference. Mix into potatoes & top with scallions & parsley.
I have also added chopped onion and/or celery to this salad depending on what I have available. Let your fridge be your guide!
