RAW YAM SALAD
Aromatic, refreshing, quick and very healthy! Not to mention easy too. A side dish that goes with just about any chicken or fish dinner but can also be enjoyed just as a snack. My mother and I came up with this little specialty about a year ago and has become a staple in our meal planning. I get my lavender and fennel from my local health food store. If you don't have grape seed oil you can use olive oil but the grape seed oil is lighter. Also, white wine vinegar works well as a substitute for rice vinegar. If you find the dressing was not enough to saturate all the yam just add more until desired amount and flavor.

[email protected]This salad was okay. The yams were a bit too crunchy for my liking, and the dressing was a bit bland. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different dressing.

[email protected]This salad was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The yams were nice and crispy, and the dressing was well-balanced. I would recommend using a little less lime juice if you're not a fan of tangy salads.

[email protected]This salad was easy to make and very tasty. I used a mandoline to slice the yams, which made it quick and easy. The dressing was also very good - I used a little less lime juice than the recipe called for, but it was still plenty tangy.
