Play games with your taste buds with a twist of ginger, the sweetness of raisins, and earthy tones of yam. Great served on it’s own, as a side to a burger, or wrapped in a rice tortilla!
Ingredients
  • 2 medium sized yams, diced into ½ inch cubes – don’t peel!
  • ½ cup veganaise [other types of mayonnaise can be used]
  • ½ cup raisins
  • ½ cup pecans, chopped
  • 2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 3 stalks celery, diced small
  • ½ red onion, diced small
  • ½ teaspoon himalayan rock salt
  • Black pepper
Instructions
  1. Fill a large sauce pan of water, cover and bring to a boil. Place diced yams in pot and cook for 8-10 minutes [mine were perfect at 9 minutes]. Remember: you don’t want them too soft!
  2. Meanwhile, combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl.
  3. After yams are strained and rinsed, add to the large bowl and mix until just combined.
  4. Serve warm, or cold. Either way, it’s delicious!
