Two of my favorite flavors with sweet potato are chipotle and green onion. I've combined them here to make this nice little sweet potato salad. This is just one serving so multiply however you want.
Chipotle Sweet Potato Salad
Serves 1
Ingredients:
3/4 cup cubed sweet potato, steamed
1 green onion/scallion, sliced
2 tsp soy-free vegenaise
3/4 tsp chipotle tabasco sauce
Directions:
In a small bowl mix together the vegenaise and tabasco with a fork until well incorporated and smooth. In a small mixing bowl, put the chipotle mayo over the sweet potato and scallion and mix with a fork until coated. If your sweet potato isn't already cold, you might want to let it chill at this point. But I'd prepared my sweet potato yesterday and let it chill overnight so it was good to go.
Here it is on a brown rice tortilla with some fresh, chopped spinach. Wrap it up and it's ready!
Note: I didn't, but next time I would add a little more chipotle mayo to the tortilla before wrapping it because the tortilla overpowered the salad in some bites. But without the wrap, I think the small amount of chipotle mayo was just right.
And now (just 8 hours late), I can really say that 1 food 5 ways is a wrap! (couldn't resist)

i also adore the combination of sweet potatoes 'n chipotle. as for green onions, i love 'em, too! we're always topping our eats with sliced green onions/scallions.
i had no idea there was soy-free vegan mayo out there. i'm totally check'n my natural foods store and whole foods when i run out of the gigantical jar 'o vegenaise i just bought last week. while i can enjoy soy, we do try and limit our intake (using soy-free earth balance, coconut aminos, etc.) and my tummy is happier when i do.
when i make your chipotle sweet potato salad i might just add a pinch of smoke paprika in there. 'cause, ya know, i think chipotle & smoked paprika were meant to be two peas in a pod. :D
