    Sweet Potato Waldorf Salad

    Published: Apr 3, 2012 · Updated: Apr 7, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    The addition of the sweet potato and toasted pine nuts makes this simple salad an exceptional side dish or a hearty lunch. Because the natural flavors blend so well, there's little need for exotic seasonings. A basket of whole grain bread makes the ideal accompaniment. Contributed by Zel Allen, reprinted from The Nut Gourmet.*

     

    Serves: 2 to 3

    • 1 medium to large sweet potato, peeled and sliced
      into ½-inch-thick rounds
    • 1 medium sweet red apple, cored and diced
    • 1 ripe pear, cored and diced
    • 1 large celery stalk, diced
    • ½ cup toasted pine nuts or chopped walnuts
    • ¼ cup raisins, optional
    • 2 to 3 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
    • 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

    Steam the sweet potato for 7 to 8 minutes, until soft. Remove from the steamer and cool. Cut into bite-size pieces and put in a medium bowl.

    Add the apple, pear, celery, nuts, optional raisins, and mayonnaise, and toss well to distribute the mayonnaise evenly. Garnish with the chives and serve.
