Sweet Potato Salad

Ingredients

• 2 c. cubed cooked sweet potato
• 1/2 c. chopped green pepper
• 1/2 c. chopped celery
• 3 scallions, sliced thin
• 1/2 c. chopped walnuts
• 2 T. mayonnaise
• 1/4 c. yogurt
• zest and juice of 1 lemon
• 1/4 t. salt
• (nubbin of ginger, thumb-tip size)

Directions

Place sweet potato, green pepper, celery, scallions, and walnuts in a small salad bowl.

Stir together mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon zest and juice (about 3 T.), and salt. If you're fond of fresh ginger, try it in this dish: peel it, cut in three pieces, and press the pieces in a garlic press to extract the juice. (It will well up in the upper part of the press--pour from there, loosen with a fork, and squeeze again.) Mix the juice into the dressing, adding to taste. Combine with sweet potato mixture and adjust salt and lemon juice to taste.
