Apple & Yam Salad
MAKE IT SHINE!
ADD YOUR PHOTO
The nifty thing about this refreshing salad is ... the sweet potatoes are raw. Yes, it can be done! This salad is similar to one created by Charlie Myers at The Gumbo Pot at the Farmer's Market in Los Angeles. It has to be made in advance and sit overnight, so that the raw sweet potatoes can soften and all the flavors can meld properly.

this was really good, as written. When I made it a second time, I made the following changes: I didn't peel the apples because I liked the contrast of color. I added 3 scallions for a balance of the sweetness (next time purple onion, minced very finely). Served with Ham steaks on the grill and fresh roasted asparagus. very nice. A new summer salad for us! updated 3/2010 to say we added raw kohlrabi to the salad and it was fantabulous!2Reply

I substituted raisins for currants, and used one red apple instead of the 2 green, and cut down a little on the garlic. It's unbelievably good. I think that I actually prefer the taste of raw sweet potato to cooked now. (And I couldn't wait overnight to taste it, so I ate it as soon as it was assembled.) Fantastic!Reply
