Hawaiian Potato Salad

Posted Thu, 11/13/03

This morning while researching information about mushroom varieties for a new article I'm working on, I found a unique recipe variation for potato salad instead.

 

The dish comes from the Great American Spice Company:

 

Aloha Sweet Potato Salad

1/2 LB bacon

3 C diced cooked sweet potatoes

2 C pineapple chunks

1/2 C mayonnaise

1 TBS Dijon mustard

2 TBS lime juice

1/2 tsp. black pepper

1/2 C macadamia nuts

Romaine lettuce leaves

 

Cut the bacon slices into 1/2-inch pieces and fry in a skillet until well browned. Drain on paper towels. Combine the bacon, sweet potatoes, and pineapple in a large mixing bowl and toss lightly. In a small bowl combine the mayonnaise, mustard, lime juice and black pepper. Add dressing to the potato mixture and mix lightly but thoroughly. Just before serving, stir in the macadamia nuts. Serve the salad in a chilled salad bowl lined with romaine lettuce leaves.

The addition of macadamia nuts hooked me.
