Ingredients

1 1/2 - 2 pounds sweet potatoes
1-1 1/2 pounds broccoli
Marinade
1/2 cup walnut or olive oil
1 large clove garlic minced
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar or red wine vinegar
1 - 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon honey
black pepper
garnishes
thin slices of green apple
chopped toasted pecans

Directions

1. Peel the sweet potatoes, cut them in halves or quarters, then into thin slices. Put them up to cook either in or over boiling water (in a steamer). Meanwhile prepare the marinade. 2. Combine the marinade ingredients in a medium-large bowl. As soon as the sweet potato slices are tender, add them still hot, to the marinade. Mix gently. 3. Steam the broccoli until bright green and just tender. Rinse under cold running water and drain completely. Lay the broccoli spears carefully on top of the salad. Cover tightly and marinate for several hours. 4. Within 15 minutes of serving, mix in the broccoli from on top. Serve garnished with thin slices of green apple and chopped, toasted pecans.
