Description
A yam is a potato’s brighter, healthier brother. They are high in vitamin B6 and potassium, which are good protectors against cardiovascular disease. Yams are also high in fiber, which keeps our GI systems running smoothly. They also have a lot of vitamin C. Bring on the antioxidant benefits!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yams, Cut Into Half Inch Cubes
- Olive Oil Spray
- 2 cups Sugar Snap Peas, Stemmed And Cut Into Half Inch Pieces
- ½ cups Sliced Scallions Or Green Onions
- ⅓ cups Cilantro, Chopped
- FOR THE DRESSING:
- ¼ cups Seasoned Rice Vinegar
- ¼ cups Low Sodium Soy Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Ginger, Minced
- 1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 3 cloves Garlic. Pressed And Finely Minced
- 2 Tablespoons Thai Chili Garlic Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Pure Maple Syrup
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Place yam chunks in a large baking dish and spray lightly with olive oil. Toss to coat. Bake for about 20 minutes, until softened (but not mushy). Remove from oven and cool completely.
Place all dressing ingredients into a small food processor and mix until smooth.
Place cooled yams into a large bowl and add snap peas, onions, cilantro, and dressing. Toss gently to coat, then cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours prior to serving.
