New Twist on Potato Salad

We enjoyed yet another year of the Claremont 4th of July Parade and potluck with friends afterwards. I was to bring my favorite potato salad, but I thought I would try to find a new favorite recipe. Here is what I did.

I searched for sweet potato salad and cilantro online and came up with this recipe. It looked pretty good to me, but I altered it a little bit (adding some Trader Joe's cilantro dressing and not adding the jalapeno pepper). It was a hit! Here is my version:

Sweet Potato Salad with Cilantro

4 cups medium-diced sweet potatoes

2 celery stalks, chopped

1 red pepper, chopped

½ C chopped cilantro

½ C minced red onion

Dressing

½ C non-fat Greek yogurt

¼ C Cilantro dressing from Trader Joe’s

juice of ½ lime

1 t cumin

Boil sweet potatoes in large saucepan until tender (10-15 minutes)

Drain potatoes and cool to room temperature.

Mix dressing and adjust flavors to taste. Add to sweet potatoes to coat. Add other ingredients: celery, red pepper, red onion and cilantro.

Cool in refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
