ROASTED SWEET POTATO SALAD
Susan Maria's Before & After Help (Powered by Invision Power Board)
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced in 1/2 inch cubes
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
Kosher salt & freshly grated black pepper
2 tablespoons finely diced onion
2 tablespoons chopped, toasted pecans
1 tablespoon dried cranberries, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
Dressing:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons sugar free honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place diced sweet potatoes in a shallow baking dish. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil, sprinkle with rosemary, salt and pepper. Stir to coat. Roast for 25-30 minutes or just until fork tender. (Over cooking will cause them to be mushy when you stir them into the remaining ingredients.) Allow to cool slightly.
To make the dressing, in a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, sf honey, salt, black pepper, and chipotle pepper. Transfer potatoes to a medium bowl. Stir in onions, pecans, cranberries, and parsley. Drizzle on dressing and gently stir until coated. Serve either warm or cold. (I love it just made and still slightly warm!) Makes 6 servings.
