Neighbor's Sweet Potato Salad

Submitted by Wendy0

"Tasted at a picnic, and had to have the recipe. It turned out to be "bunch of this, glop of that," so I came up with the following ballpark measurements that seemed right - but adjust as needed! Once I got asked for the recipe too, I posted it here."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 4 sweet potatoes (peeled, cubed, and boiled)
• 1⁄4 cup scallion (chopped)
• 1⁄3 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1⁄2 cup dried cranberries
• 1⁄2 cup sunflower seeds
• 1⁄2 cup red wine vinegar (approximate)
• 1⁄2 cup olive oil (approximate)
• 1 tablespoon spicy mustard

directions

1. Combine the first 5 ingredients in a large bowl.
2. Stir together the last 3 for the dressing. You want almost equal amounts of vinegar and oil - but a bit more vinegar.
3. Pour dressing over salad and refrigerate until ready to serve.

This tasted best at room temperature ~ was savory, and sweet from the cranberries. I toasted the sunflower seeds, and because my sweet potatoes were smaller than average, I reduced all the other ingredients by half. Tagged for My-3-Chefs 2013.
