Grilled Sweet Potato & Bacon Salad

Grilled Sweet Potato & Bacon Salad

Ingredients:

5 strips bacon, cooked and chopped

3 sweet potatoes, sliced thickly and grilled

1 green onion, sliced thinly

salt & pepper

vegetable oil, for grilling

For the dressing:

2 Tbsp whole grain mustard

2 tsp vinegar

2 tsp honey

1/4 cup vegetable oil

salt & pepper

Directions:

This is the quick and dirty way to get to New Zealand. All you’ll need is your imagination, a grill, and a few sweet potatoes. Thickly slice them in 3/4 inch discs and toss with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper.

Cook both sides on a hot grill until done and the neighbors wander over, sniffing the air in a trance. My potatoes took just a few minutes per side but cooking time will vary (watch for hot spots and move pieces accordingly).

Chop up the bacon and toss with the sweet potatoes and some green onion.

Serve with a honey mustard dipping sauce/dressing. 

You could add crushed garlic, more oil if it’s too tangy for you, more honey if you like it sweeter…
