Serves 4
Ingredients
For the salad
4 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups spinach, chopped
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup almonds, sliced
1 celery sticks, sliced
2 spring onions, sliced whole
For the dressing
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup raw cashews
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 tbsp curry powder
1 garlic clove, sliced
1 tsp orange zest
Preparation method
- For the dressing, zest the orange and set it aside.
- Place the water, cashews, orange juice, curry powder and garlic into a blender and mix. Set it aside for 15 minutes or so, until the cashews soften.
- Stir the orange zest into the dressing with a fork gently.
- For the salad, place the sweet potatoes into a soup pan and cover with water. Over high heat, bring to the boil, uncovered. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-high and cook the potatoes until tender, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and rinse the potatoes under cold water and set aside.
- Once the potatoes have drained, place them into a large bowl with the spinach, raisins, almonds, celery and spring onions and pour the dressing onto the salad.
This salad can be served warm or chilled and topped with sliced almonds.
