Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 pounds red-skinned sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup coarsely chopped toasted pecans
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup brown raisins
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large pot fitted with a steamer basket, steam the sweet potatoes in batches until just tender, 12 to 15 minutes per batch. Transfer them to a large bowl and let cool to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, make the Orange-Maple Dressing by whisking the olive oil, maple syrup, orange juice, vinegar, ginger, nutmeg and salt.
  • Add the green onions, parsley, pecans and raisins to the cooled sweet potatoes. Pour the Orange-Maple Dressing over the potato mixture and toss gently to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. This salad can be made several hours ahead of time; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

CHOPPED CUCUMBER AND TOMATO SALAD



Chopped Cucumber and Tomato Salad image

Here's an easy summer salad that's always a winner. There are many similar chopped salads served throughout the Eastern Mediterranean, but this version with halved sweet cherry tomatoes is especially attractive. Your own take can be a variation on this one: Feel free to use large tomatoes, chop the vegetables as small or large as you like (roughly chopped has its charms), add other herbs like basil, mint or dill, or swap the feta for mozzarella.

ORANGE TOMATO CUCUMBER SALAD WITH ORANGE AND MAPLE DRESSING



Orange Tomato Cucumber Salad With Orange and Maple Dressing image

I have a glut of oranges and tomatoes to use up. I came across a recipe in one of my cookbooks that looked promising, but I changed it so much that it is no longer recognized as where it began! Tangy and light, I loved this as a side dish. Plus it is a beautiful presentation. Would probably be best with garden fresh tomatoes.
