Low Fat Potato Recipes - Caribbean Sweet Potato Salad

Serving Size : 5

Ingredient :

1 large white potato -- peeled and quartered
1 large sweet potato -- peeled and quartered
1 cup corn
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro -- chopped
1 clove garlic -- minced
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cucumber -- halved lengthwise and chopped
1/2 red onion -- thinly sliced
1/4 cup peanuts -- finely chopped (omit for Core)


Preparation Method :

1. Place the white potato pieces into a large saucepan, and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, turn the heat down, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the sweet potato, and cook about 15 minutes more. Remove a piece of each potato, and cut in half to see if it is cooked enough. Once the potatoes are tender, add corn kernels; cook another 30 seconds. Drain through a colander. Fill the saucepan with cold water, and drop vegetables into water. Cool for 5 minutes, and drain.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together mustard, lime juice, cilantro, and garlic. Slowly whisk in oil. Mix in salt and black pepper.

3. Cut cooled potatoes into 1 inch cubes, and add to dressing along with cucumber, and red onion. Toss well. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Toss the peanuts in just before serving.
