Sweet Potato & Chicken Salad
Okay, so either the idea of Sweet Potato and Chicken sounds amazing to you or it sounds revolting... I personally think that sweet potato is one of those foods that tastes great with anything; from cheese, to chicken, to sushi (that may sound like its stretching it but once you try it there is not turning back!) or just by itself, but whichever way its great! So that's why this recipe came to me when i was searching through the fridge one Sunday night only to find some Romaine Lettuce, Chicken from Shabbos and a Sweet Potato.....
Chicken Breast, cooked and cut into bite size pieces
1 Sweet Potato, cooked until its just soft enough to eat (you don't want it to mush in your salad)
Romaine Lettuce cut into small pieces
Avocado (up there on my favorite list with sweet potato) cut into cubes
1/2 a Red Pepper, cut into cubes
Corn Niblets (about a 1/3 of a can)
Dressing:
1/4 cup of Mayonnaise
Olive Oil
Garlic Powder
Pepper
Salt
Mix the salad ingredients and the dressing seperately. The salad will look nice and colorful and the dressing should be a thick mixture. Once both are well mixed combine but dont saturate the salad with the dressing because you don't want it to take over the yummy taste of chicken and vegetables!
When dressing a salad be aware that there is a point when a salad is perfectly dressed and even though you may have extra dressing it should not be poured over. Just put it aside to use with something else...
Enjoy!
