When up in Boston Adrienne and I got a sandwich to share at a cafe in Harvard Square<\/a>. It was much better than I expected, given the ingrediants (and I ordered it!): sweet potato, apple, cheese, onion, walnuts and a maple vinagrette. We liked it enough to try to re-create it, so Adrienne did just that, but as a salad:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We forgot the walnuts, but it was quite good. Only thing we might change is to cut the individual pieces smaller, so the flavors meld better in the mouth. Short recipe and whole dinner pic after the jump.<\/p>\n

Sweet Potato Salad<\/strong> – choose your own proportions!<\/p>\n

Cut sweet potatoes into 1\/2″ cubes and toss with oil or melted butter, mix with some salt and brown sugar and roast until soft but still firm – not too long.<\/p>\n

Cut up some green tart-ish apples into similar size.<\/p>\n

Cut red onion in small slivers<\/p>\n

Find a recipe for maple vinagrette – ours had real maple syrup, oil, red wine vinegar and some dijon<\/p>\n

Toss all together, with crumbled goat cheese<\/p>\n

If you remembered walnuts (preferrable roasted), add those (probably chopped up)<\/p>\n

Enjoy, perhaps with some asparagus and a salmon pinwheel:<\/p>\n
