Title: Sweet Potato and Carrot Salad Post by: Ryan Martis on July 04, 2009, 04:50:36 AM Ingredients:
2 Carrots 3 Medium Tomatoes ½ cup Kabuli chana 8-10 Lettuce Leaves 1 Medium Sweet Potato Dressing ½ tsp Salt 6 tbsp Curd 1 tsp Black Pepper 1 tbsp Clear Honey Garnish 1 tbsp Walnuts 1 tbsp Sultanas 1 smal Onion, rings Method: Peel the sweet potato and roughly dice. Boil until soft but not mushy, cover the pan and set aside. Boil the carrots for a just a few minutes making sure they remain crunchy. Add the carrots to the sweet potatoes. Drain the water from the sweet potatoes and carrots and place together in a bowl. Slice the tops off the tomatoes, then scoop out and discard the seeds. Roughly chop the flesh. Line a glass bowl with the lettuce leaves. Mix together the sweet potatoes, carrots, chick-peas (garbanzos) and tomatoes and place in the bowl. Blend together all the dressing ingredients and beat using a fork. Garnish with the walnuts, sultanas (golden raisins) and onion rings. Pour the dressing over the salad or serve it in a separate bowl, if wished. Tip: When buying salad greens, look for bright colors and greens that look crisp, moist and fresh. Brown or dark green spots and withering leaves are a sign of aging. Look for heads of lettuce that are tight. |
