Banana and Japanese sweet potato salad with a sweet almond butter sauce

I can already read your mind, as you look at the title of this recipe. Bananas and potatoes? Does that even go? Let me introduce you to something unique and delicious! Sound weird? Maybe. Will it tantalize your taste buds? Absolutely!

I love the combination of sweet and savory. If you love this combination too, you will love this recipe! Three of my favorite foods are sweet potatoes, almond butter and bananas. So I thought, why not combine the three into one dish?

Directions:

Steam one Japanese sweet potato in the microwave.

Take out and dice into cubes.  Transfer to a large bowl

Throw 2 chopped bananas into the bowl of chopped sweet potato.


Sauce:

2 Tbs almond butter
1/2 tsp  vanilla extract
3 Tbs almond milk

Mix the sauce until it's smooth. 

Pour 3/4 of the sauce onto the bananas and sweet potato.

Mix and toss with 1/4 tsp salt.

Plate and pour the rest of the sauce on top.

Enjoy!
