Chipotle Sweet Potato Salad
Chipotle Sweet Potato Salad
I wouldn't generally think of using sweet potatoes in a potato salad, but this is a delicious salad!
Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 lb sweet potatoes (about 7 cups)
- ¼ cup white onion (finely diced)
- ¼ cup celery (finely diced)
- ¼ cup green bell pepper (finely diced)
- 1 small jalapeno pepper (seeded & finely diced)
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp lime juice
- 1/2-1 tsp ground chipotle pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro
Instructions:
- Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into bite-sized chunks. (They're actually better in small chunks, then each bite has more sauce.)
- Fill a large pan with water and boil the diced sweet potatoes until they are tender. (20-30 minutes)
- While the potatoes are cooking, dice the onion, celery, and bell and jalapeno peppers.
- In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, and spices. Set aside.
- When the potatoes are done, drain the water and allow to cool somewhat.
- When the potatoes are cooled, add the rest of the ingredients and stir until coated. Garnish with cilantro.
- Cover and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to mix.
Notes:
Make Ahead: The recipe is best if it can rest for a while before serving.
