Curried Sweet Potato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In large saucepan, cover sweet potatoes with cold water. Cover and heat to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 10 to 12 minutes or until tender. Drain; let cool.
• Meanwhile, in small nonstick skillet, toast pecans over medium heat, stirring often, 3 to 4 minutes or until lightly toasted. Tip onto a plate; let cool.
• In large salad bowl, whisk together yogurt, mayonnaise, brown sugar, curry powder and salt. Gently stir in pineapple, green onions and sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with toasted pecans. Serve immediately or cover and chill until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Cover the red onion with cold water in a small bowl and set aside. Toss the sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, the curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the hot baking sheet and roast until tender and browned around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the lime zest and juice, mango chutney, remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Drain the red onion and add to the bowl along with the kale, lettuce, chicken and half the herbs; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and top with the sweet potatoes, cashews and remaining herbs.

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil then add the potatoes. Return to the boil and cook for 15 minutes. The potatoes should be just tender to the point of a knife. Drain in a colander and cool for 5-10 minutes.
• While the potatoes are cooking, trim the roots from the spring onions then slice the white bulb ends. Reserve the green stems. Heat the oil in a deep saucepan, add the mustard seeds and cook until they start to jump and pop. Add the chopped spring onion and curry paste. Cook, stirring continuously, for 2 minutes.
• Tip the mixture into a large bowl then stir in the yogurt and mayonnaise with plenty of salt and ground black pepper. Now you have a choice: for everyday you could the keep skins on salad potatoes, but for entertaining it's 10 minutes well spent to remove them - they look better and take on the flavour of the dressing more easily.
• Chop all but 2 of the green spring onion stems and add to the dressing along with the potatoes and celery and carefully fold everything together until evenly coated. Reserve the remaining stems in water. Cover the bowl with cling film and chill until ready to eat.
• To serve remove the potatoes from the fridge a good hour before serving so they return to room temperature. If the consistency of the dressing looks a little thick, thin it with a splash of milk or water. Pile the salad into a serving bowl. Cut the reserved spring onion stems into long shreds and scatter them over the salad along with a few mustard seeds.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover by several inches. Bring to a boil over high heat, add 1 tablespoon salt, and reduce to a gentle boil. Cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain into a colander. Using gloves or paper towels to protect your hands, cut potatoes into wedges while still hot. Drizzle with vinegar, and set aside to cool.
• Place eggs in a small pan with enough water to cover by 1 inch, and place over medium-high heat. When water comes to a boil, turn off heat, cover, and let stand for 13 minutes. Drain, and place in a bowl with cold water to cover. When cold, peel hard-boiled eggs, and cut into quarters lengthwise.
• Place mayonnaise, curry powder, and remaining teaspoon salt in a large bowl; whisk to combine. Add potatoes to mayonnaise mixture. Add eggs, onion, and cilantro. Stir to combine. Chill until ready to serve.
