I have to admit, the wonderful people out there who post on All Recipes.com inspired this recipe.  I took my own liberties with substituting ingredients, but I felt it turned out great so I decided to post.  If you google sweet potato and black bean salad, you'll probably find similar recipes.  Mine turned out really spicy, so I would take out the hot pepper to tone a down a bit. 

Total TIme: 35 minutes

Ingredients: 

4 sweet potatoes, chopped into cubes
1 onion, chopped
Oil for roasting and for dressing
Pinch of Sea Salt/Pepper
1 dried cayenne pepper, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
Juice of 2 limes
Zest of 1 lime
1 tbsp honey
1 can organic black beans, rinsed and drained
1 red pepper, chopped
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
1 green onion, shopped


What to do: 

1) Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.  Place sweet potato, drizzle of oil, sea salt and pepper into a bowl to combine well.  Spread onto cookie sheet and bake for about 30 minutes, until cooked - not too soft though, just soft enough to eat. 

2) For dressing, combine about 1/4 cup oil, garlic, cayenne pepper, lime juice, honey and zest of lime in a small dish.  Set aside. 

3) When sweet potatoes are done, dump them into a large salad bowl.  Add black beans, red pepper, cilantro, green onion, and dressing.  Combine well.  Serve immediately or after it's been refrigerated for a while.  It's good hot and cold!
