Sweet potato-currant slaw

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Water
1 large Sweet potato, peeled and shredded (about 1 pound)
1 Red Delicious apple, unpeeled and shredded
¼ cup Currants or golden raisins
½ cup Vanilla low-fat yogurt
2 tablespoons Orange juice
1 tablespoon Honey
Lettuce leaves
½ cup Chopped pecans, toasted

Directions

Hi everybody! I made this yesterday and it's delicious. I substituted dried cranberries (craisins) for the currants and all-natural no sugar added apricot jam for the honey. Also, I used the pecans right out of the bag, I didn't toast them. Oh, yeah, the recipe comes out of Southern Living magazine.

Bring water up to a boil in a large saucepan; add sweet potato. Cover and cook 1 minute; drain immediately. Place sweet potato in ice water; let stand 5 minutes. Drain well, and pat dry with paper towels.

Combine sweet potato and next 5 ingredients, tossing to coat. Cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours. To serve, spoon onto lettuce leaves, and sprinkle with pecans. Yield: 4 to 6 servings. Posted to TNT - Prodigy's Recipe Exchange Newsletter by risha@... on Jul 1, 1997
