Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 large garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Cook the sweet potato cubes for about 10 minutes, or until they are tender but not falling apart. Drain and set aside to cool.
While the sweet potatoes are cooling, finely chop the red onion, red bell pepper, and fresh parsley. Mince the garlic clove.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the cooled sweet potatoes, chopped red onion, red bell pepper, and parsley.
Pour the dressing over the sweet potato mixture and gently toss until all pieces are well-coated.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
