Low Carb Recipe for Sunset Salad

Sunset is reflected into bright red peppers, orange sweet potatoes and light green celery; making this salad special.

Sweet potatoes may not be allowed on some low carb diets, but they are healthy alternative to regular potatoes, with 1/2 the carbs, and full of very important vitamins.

1 pound sweet potatoes
water
1/2 cups chopped celery
1/2 cup red peppers,
1/2 large onion chopped
1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Peel sweet potatoes and cut into bite size chunks. Place in pot with a little water, and cook until able to prick with fork, but not mushy. Drain and cool in fridge while preparing next step.

Chop celery, pepper, onion, and parley.

In a small bowl mix all the remaining ingredients.

When potatoes are cool, add vegetables, and salad dressing.

Serve.

Tip: make ahead and serve the next day allowing flavors to flourish.
