Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound sweet potatoes (about 2 small or 1 large, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces)
1/2 pound green beans (trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces)
1 cup cooked chickpeas
1 cup cooked kidney beans
1/2 cup chopped red onion (about 1/2 small onion)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (granulated sugar would also work)
1 teaspoon stone-ground mustard or other brown mustard
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper + more to taste
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (either Italian or curly work)

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot halfway full with water and place over high heat. Add a few pinches of salt to the water if desired. Bring water to a boil. Carefully add the sweet potatoes and boil until almost fork-tender, 4-5 minutes. Add the green beans and cook for three more minutes, until bright green and tender. Drain and let cool slightly. Add to a large bowl along with the chickpeas, kidney beans, and onion. Stir gently to combine, trying not to break up the sweet potatoes.
  • To a small bowl, add the olive oil, vinegar, pure maple syrup, mustard, salt, pepper, and parsley. Whisk until combined. Pour over the potatoes and beans. Toss gently to coat veggies with dressing. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately for a warm potato salad (my preference) or chill until ready to serve.

STEAMED SWEET POTATO, BROCCOLI, AND BEAN SALAD



Steamed Sweet Potato, Broccoli, and Bean Salad image

I wanted to bring sweet potatoes to work for lunch, but didn't want plain old potatoes cooked in the microwave. So I threw this together. Would be good hot or cold. The recipe should make a hearty lunch for two (or three?) -- or serve as a side dish. I used chickpeas but black or pinto beans would probably be just as good.

SIMPLE STEAMED BROCCOLI



Simple Steamed Broccoli image

My son adores steamed broccoli, especially the way they serve it at the Outback Restaurant. He loves it so much he asks for broccoli instead of fries when we eat there!! This is what I came up with that he deemed "perfect". (The sugar is merely to help the water boil, like salt does, without adding a salty flavor to the vegetables. I read that tip on a website when I was learning to use the steamer and have used it ever since.)
