Anyway, we first discovered the fab salad last summer and ate it a bunch then and I'm so glad I found the recipe again. I throw in an avocado, and it's a great complement. Tonight I'm putting the leftovers in quesadillas with jack cheese. I don't know how they will turn out, but I can't imagine they won't be good - jack cheese, tortillas and a spicy summer salad. Right? I'll let you know if they're a massive failure.

Summer/fall sweet potato salad
Friends, this is soooo good. And it's very easy (as long as you read the ingredient list and remember to buy the limes and then read the recipe so that you put the onions in to roast with the potatoes at the beginning rather than halfway through when you're supposed to be going to pick up some limes, and then all hell breaks loose because the husband you're supposed to be picking up after you finally get the limes got caught up in the ICU and then you decided to take a shortcut that leads to a no left turn onto your street so you have to backtrack and the baby has been whining/wailing for a good half hour at this point. And no one was there to praise your excellent parallel parking job when getting the limes!). Perhaps an unnecessary digression, but since there isn't much else to say other than THIS IS SO GOOD AND EASY so I guess I needed something else to beef up the post.

this looks delish! I may have to make it for dinner this week as a trial run before trying it out at our mom's group collective first year birthday party for all the bebes!
ReplyDeletePS--do tell how the quesadilla turns out--but I'm with you; it really can't be bad.
The quesadillas were excellent (just had them again for lunch - the salad makes a ton). I rarely make quesadillas at home but these were like restaurant quesadillas because the salad ingredients had so much flavor. I used lots of jack cheese, handmade flour tortillas from TJs and did them in the grill pan for a few minutes. Grace is currently destroying, but eating, hers. YUM.
ReplyDeleteThis was so good. I had some sweet potatoes that I had planned on using for sweet potato-brie pizza but upon opening the brie this afternoon discovered it was no good so I had to reassess dinner plans. I left out the black beans because we didn't have any and also Mei doesn't like them. I loved the sweet/slightly spicy combo and cilantro and lime are two of my favorite things ever. Great with pork chops and broccolini.
