Sweet Potato Salad with Apple and Avocado
Recipe from
Vegetarian Times
More a meal than a side dish, this potato salad gets its protein from avocado and pumpkin seeds, both good sources of essential fatty acids. Nutrient-rich corn and diced apple give it crunch. Try serving it over a bed of spinach or arugula.
