Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 cups cooked pinto beans
  • 14 cup plain yogurt
  • 12 cup salsa
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 12-1 teaspoon cumin
  • 12-1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • salt & pepper, to taste
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

Method

  • Set oven to 425*F.
  • Cut sweet potato into 1/4 inch cubes.
  • Toss with olive oil , salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of paprika.
  • Place in one layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes (or until fork tender).
  • Toss the sweet potatoes after 10 minutes to keep them from browning too much on one side.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool.
  • Mix the yogurt, salsa, vinegar, cumin, paprika and some salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Taste as you go and adjust spices to your liking.
  • Set aside.
  • Once the sweet potatoes are cooled, toss them with the beans and the dressing.
  • Chill for 30 minutes before serving.
  • Note: If you need to chill this salad for more than 30 minutes, only add half of the dressing, reserving the other half in a separate container in the fridge.
  • When you're ready to serve, toss the salad with the remaining dressing.
  • This will keep the beans from absorbing all of the dressing.
