    Sweet Potato Salad

    Carbs are my friend! I'm following a high carb vegan diet and I feel awesome, but I eat healthy carbs, not the refined and processed ones.

    Sweet potatoes are a great potato alternative, they have a lower glycemic index, more fiber, manganese, calcium and vitamins A, C and B6. Some people prefer sweet potatoes, but I eat both (I love potatoes so much!).

    This salad is so colorful and nutritious and it's the perfect meal to eat on the go. I baked the sweet potatoes, but if you want, you can also steam them. I think they taste better when they're baked, but it takes longer to cook them.

    Tips:

    • Feel free to use your favorite veggies and legumes.
    • I cooked dry chickpeas because they're healthier, although it's okay if you use canned chickpeas.
    • If you don't like sweet potatoes, use white potatoes instead.
    • Oil is optional, you can omit it or use tahini.
    • I didn't add salt, but it's up to you. I usually use sea salt or Herbamare.

      This is fantastic! No one ever makes sweet potato salad, and that's a shame. You on the other hand, are on the up-and-up and are changing the potato salad world. Rock on!

      Looks like such a lovely and refreshing summer dish! I love sweet potatoes, but I think of them as more of an autumn and winter food. You've shown that they can be great year round!
