sweet potato salad with honey-lime vinaigrette
ingredients:
sweet potatoes
red onion, chopped
garlic, chopped
1 jalapeno, chopped
3 limes
honey
salt & pepper
olive oil
basil or mint leaves
step1: prepare the potatoes
i picked up these potatoes at the prospect park farmer's market. they are now starting to get in the fall and winter veggies, and i couldn't resist.
first, peel the potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized pieces.
boil them until they are just soft. drain well and season with a pinch of salt. set aside.

step 2: the vinaigrette
in a large bowl, combine the chopped onion, garlic, and jalapeno with the juice of 3 limes. add a bunch of honey, and season with salt and pepper. mix well, then stir in olive oil. pour this mixture over the potatoes.
step 3: let it sit
the hardest step, no doubt. let the flavors all intertwine. add some fresh basil or mint leaves, torn. when it is at room temperature, go ahead and eat it. you deserve it.
