Sweet Potato Salad (with Chickpeas and Apple)

This is an interesting change to traditional potato salad picnic/BBQ food.

I LOVE mayonnaise based white potato salad (and still make it using Vegenaise), but this is a healthier and more filling version, using not only sweet potato, but chickpeas and apple.



(Based on a recipe featured in 'All You' magazine)

1 Large Sweet Potato, peeled and cubed
*Boil 5-7 min. until just tender, drain, rinse in cold water and set aside to cool

1 Large Stalk Celery finely sliced
1 Apple, diced
1 can Chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Dressing:

1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. Cider Vinegar
1 tsp. Honey or Sugar
2-3 TBSP Olive Oil
1/2 tsp. salt
Pepper to taste


Whisk dressing ingredients and pour over chopped ingredients and cooked sweet potato in bowl

Chill at least 1 hour before serving

Enjoy!
