Categories     dinner, easy, main course

Time 50m

Yield 4 main course servings or 6 to 8 side dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 medium-size sweet potatoes, about 3 pounds, peeled and quartered
1 pound Cajun andouille sausage (kielbasa or chorizo may be substituted)
3 tablespoons grainy mustard
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
Pinch sugar
1 large red onion, peeled and chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Bring about four quarts of water to a boil, add the sweet potatoes and boil until just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
  • Preheat grill or broiler.
  • Grill or broil the sausage over medium heat, turning frequently, until browned and cooked through, eight to 10 minutes for precooked sausage, 12 to 15 minutes for uncooked. Remove sausage from the heat, slice 1/4-inch thick and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, beat together the mustard and oil, then add the vinegar and sugar and whisk until well blended.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes and put them in a large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over them and add the onion, sausage slices, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well but gently, so the potatoes hold their shape. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve warm or cooled.

This salad is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the sweet potatoes and the dressing, and they don't even notice the spinach.

I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing was tangy and flavorful, and the sausage added a nice smokiness.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover grilled sausage. I had some leftover from a cookout and this was the perfect way to use it up.
