Spicy Sweet Potato Salad
Tuesday, July 30, 2013From our skinny table to yours...
This recipe is going to make you want to throw a Mexican Fiesta Summer BBQ! We sure want to. You could grill up some Chicken Kebabs with Jalapeno Pesto, Cilantro & Lime Shrimp Skewers, and serve them up with our Spicy Sweet Potato Salad! Now that's a healthy and delicious Mexican summer BBQ menu ;)
Yep, that whole bowl of veggies is going right into the potato salad! We flavored our sweet potato salad with green pepper, jalapeno, celery, red onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder and lots of fresh cilantro! You know by now we aren't going to use mayonnaise to tie this together!
We whipped up quick dressing made from only orange juice, olive oil and freshly squeezed lime juice!
Hope you enjoy our healthy spin on the traditional potato salad!
