Sweet Potato Salad Recipe

This is a recipe that was given to me by a friend from the states. She says that it is one that is much used over there as everyone loves it. I have tried it myself and have to say although a lot different to our usual potato salad here, it is well worth trying as it is delicious.

INGREDIENTS:

4 large sweet potatoes
2 granny smith apples
2 green onions (could use white)

Poppy Seed Dressing:

1/4 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon wine vinegar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 tablespoon grated orange rind
1/2 tablespoon grated lemon rind
1/2 cup good olive oil
1/2 tablespoon poppy seeds

METHOD:

Cook potatoes with skin still on, whole in boiling water for about 25 minutes or until just tender but not overcooked. Drain and cool.
Peel potatoes and cut into 1/2 inch slices.
Cut apples into thin wedges, slice green onions.
Arrange 1/4 of the potato slices, apples and green onions in a large salad dish and drizzle with 1/4 of the poppy seed dressing. Repeat layers three times in the same order.
Cover and chill in refrigerator until using.
This is great to serve at a barbecue.
