Ingredients

  

• For the Salad:
• 1-2 pounds sweet potatoes
• 1/3 cup pistachios
• 1/2 cup cucumber diced
• 1 cup Roma tomato cubed
• 1/2 cup parsley or cilantro roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup dates thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons fresh mint
• Dressing:
• 1 cup raw cashews soaked in water overnight
• 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest about 1 very large lemon
• 1-2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons fresh ginger minced
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• Pinch of pepper

Instructions

 

• Cut the potatoes into large chunks and place them in a large pot of salted water, or air-fried whole at 400 for 30 minutes.
• Once water boiling, reduce the heat to medium/high so that the pot retains a steady boil and cook the potatoes until they're are fork tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain them and let them sit until they're cool enough to handle.
• Meanwhile, in a non stick skillet roast pistachios until they are golden brown about 1-2 minutes.
• Roughly chop and set aside the nuts.
• Drain the water from the soaking cashews and place them into a high-powered blender.
• Add in all the remaining "dressing" ingredients and blend until they're smooth and creamy.
• Once potatoes are cool, peel the skin from the potatoes and chop them into cubes, placing in a large bowl.
• Add the cucumber, tomato, cilantro or Parsley,dates, mint and chopped pistachios.
• Pour all the dressing over the salad and mix until evenly coated.
• Cover and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour so the flavors develop.
• Season with black pepper if needed
