To begin the recipe, start by boiling two large sweet potatoes in salted water until they are tender. Once cooked through, drain the potatoes and let them cool before peeling off their skins. Then cut them into cubes or slices as desired for the salad.
Next prepare the other ingredients for this salad: diced red onion, chopped cilantro leaves, slivered almonds or walnuts for crunchiness, cubed avocado for creaminess, and freshly squeezed lime juice for acidity or you could use apple cider vinegar. Place all these ingredients into a large bowl along with the cooled sweet potato cubes or slices.
Now it’s time to prepare the dressing for this delicious dish! Mix together extra virgin olive oil with honey or maple syrup, garlic powder, or minced garlic cloves according to taste preferences; then season with salt and pepper to taste as well. Drizzle this mixture over top of the salad ingredients in your bowl; gently toss everything together until evenly combined before serving onto plates or bowls. Enjoy your nutritious meal!
