This recipe is great served cold or at room temperature, along side a grilled salmon fillet and accompanied by a mixed green salad. Great for a healthy summer meal.
Ingredients:
2 medium sweet potataoes, washed well and cut into 1 inch squares (leave the peel on it to add fibre to the dish!)
1 large white potatoe, washed well and cut into 1 inch squares
1 small sweet onion, finely chopped
1 red pepper, finely chopped
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
4 fresh basil leaves, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
juice of one lime
2 cap fulls of white vinegar
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add white and sweet potatoes. Reduce heat and simmer for approximately 10 minutes---do not overcook---potatoes should be firm, not mushy.
2. Rinse potatoes under cold running water and drain. Set aside to cool.
3. In medium bowl combine onions, red peppers, salt, pepper, garlic & basil. Add cooled potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil, lime juice and white vinegar. Toss lightly and allow to sit for five minutes before serving, to allow flavours to blend.
