SALAD: So Ono Sweet Potato Salad
Submitted by beachdee on April 24, 2004 at 9:26 pm
Refreshing and healthy take on potato salad, nice for summer but also well-received at holiday get-togethers. If you can find some of the purple sweet potatoes, they make a fun contrast with the mandarin oranges (perfect for tailgating if your school colors are purple and gold/orange!)
Source: I based this recipe on one by Bonnie Tuell in "Hawai'i's Island Cooking.
4 or 5 medium sweet potatoes, cooked and diced
1 cup celery, chopped
1/3 cup green onion, chopped
1 can mandarin oranges, drained
1/4 cup non-fat yogurt
1/4 cup low/nonfat sour cream
1/2 cup lowfat mayo
salt and pepper to taste
Combine vegetables and mandarin oranges. Mix mayo and yogurt/sour cream (you can use all yogurt or all sour cream, however you want, also) and seasonings. Gently stir into vegetables. Serve well chilled. Roasted almonds may be added. So ono!! (so delicious/good!)
