Sweet potato salad with spicy peanut dressing

A different take on traditional potato salad. You can make it as spicy or as mild as you want, just adjust the chili sauce.

From Epicurious.


1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
4 teaspoons toasted sesame oil (such as Asian)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon peanut butter
2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons golden brown sugar

2 pounds red-skinned sweet potatoes (yams), peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

1 1/2 cups sugar snap peas, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/3 cup coarsely chopped dry-roasted peanuts

Whisk first 9 ingredients in medium bowl to blend.

Add enough water to large saucepan to reach depth of 1/2 inch. Bring to boil; add sweet potatoes and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain; cool.

Mix sweet potatoes, dressing, peas, and green onions in large bowl. Season salad with salt and pepper. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Sprinkle salad with peanuts and serve.
