Sweet Potato and Black Bean Salad

This is a recipe that Rob found on YouTube, and admittedly, Rob cooked it and not me.

Ingredients
3 or 4 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 red onion, roughly chopped
1 cup chopped cilantro *fresh*
1 red pepper, roughly chopped (optional)
1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained.

2 limes, juiced
3 tbsp olive oil
1 jalapeƱo pepper, seeded and chopped.

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Toss chopped potatoes and onions with a bit of oil. Place on baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes (or until you can pierce the potatoes with a fork).
3. Meanwhile, put lime juice, olive oil, and jalapeƱos into a blender and blend until smooth.
4. When potatoes and onions are done, let the cool.
5. Add potatoes, onions, red peppers, beans cilantro, and the lime mixture to a bowl.
6. Season with salt and pepper and toss.


This salad tastes better after it has been refrigerated for a few hours, but it is very tasty!! If you are not a fan of cilantro (like me), you can use it sparingly until it meets your tastes.
