Salad Greens
Steam the sweet potato cubes for 6 to 8 minutes, until just tender. Don't overcook. While they steam, whisk the vinegar, mustard and honey in a small bowl. Slowly add the oil in a small stream, whisking until the dressing emulsifies. Place the diced celery and red peppers in a serving bowl. Add the steamed potatoes and the dressing. Stir gently, salt and pepper to taste, and set aside to cool a few minutes. Toss in the parsley and scallions. Serve on individual plates atop a bed of salad greens.............divine!
