Cheat Potato Salad

This is a healthier option than the standard potato salad, the taste is very much like a conventional potato salad and the secret behind it is the pumpkin and sweet potato that is used instead. Most of the ingredients I used for this is certified organic produce. 

Ingredients: - 

1 small sweet potato diced with skin on

1 small beetroot roughly peeled and diced

1/2 a kent pumpkin peeled and diced

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive Oil

3 - 4 TBLS Low fat herb mayonnaise

1 heaped Tsp of mild english mustard

Fresh Parsley (Half a bunch) 

Garnish with Pumpkin Seeds

Method:  -

 

Place a pan on medium heat onto the stovetop with olive oil. Once slightly warm cook the chopped parsley tilll fragrant than add the sweet potato, beetroot and pumpkin add a little water to help the cooking process along and prevent the vegetables from burning. Cook for approx 20 mins until the pumpkin is mushy, sweet potato almost mushy and beetroot tender. 

Remove from stovetop and allow to cool, if there is any excess water still left behind drain it straight away otherwise you will end up with everything as mush. Once cooled mix the herb mayonnaise and english mustard together and mix through vegetables. Garnish with Parsley and Organic Pumpkin Seeds.
