Sweet Potato Salad

The natural sweetness of yams, with crunchy celery, art cranberries and the light-lemon and oil dressing will make this different salad one that you’ll include where you need potato salad.

Ingredients:

1 lb. sweet potatoes (about 4 cups)
1 1/2 cups chopped celery
1/2 cup coarsely chopped onion
1 tbsp. minced parsley
1/4 cup dried cranberries
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. olive oil
Salt to taste

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake sweet potatoes for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until tender. Do not over bake; they should not be mushy. Cool. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into chunks. In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, celery, onion, parsley and cranberries. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil. Toss with potato mixture and salt. Makes 4 servings.
