Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 stalks celery
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the cubed sweet potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes or until fork-tender. Avoid overcooking to prevent them from becoming mushy.
Drain the sweet potatoes and allow them to cool to room temperature.
While the sweet potatoes are cooling, finely dice the celery and red onion. Chop the parsley and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled sweet potatoes, diced celery, red onion, and chopped parsley.
Pour the dressing over the sweet potato mixture and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve cold and enjoy your low-fat sweet potato salad as a flavorful, healthy dish.
