Ah, Fall! Thank you for the abundance of orange foods - pumpkins, butternut squash, sweet potatoes - and a plethora of ways to enjoy them. Sweet potatoes are most commonly prepared to emphasize their sweetness, with added brown sugar and cinnamon, but they can be fantastic in a spicy, savory dish, such as Mark Bittman's Sweet Potato Black Bean Salad.n.o.e.'s notes:
- I didn't have red bell pepper, so used an orange one. It tasted the same, but wasn't as pretty.
- To amp up the heat, I threw in some additional chopped hot peppers.
- Just in case we might find the citrus overwhelming, I added half the lime juice.
- This versatile dish can be served warm or cold
the verdict:
I had high hopes for this salad, and it met and exceeded them! Despite the extra peppers that I added, there wasn't a ton of heat in this dish, but it was flavorful and delicious. I love that it can be served at any temperature, and can serve as a filling lunch or a side dish at Thanksgiving.

I like the simplicity of this salad!
This salad looks really tasty. I don't care for sweet potatoes in their candied version, but I love eating them in a savory dish. I can't wait to try this for lunch or dinner soon.
I love the combination of sweet potatoes and black beans. I like to use it in quesadillas for a quick dinner. :)
This salad looks really pretty! I love colorful dishes. I prefer my sweet potatoes on the sweet side with lots of brown sugar but maybe I should expand my horizons a bit and try them in a savory dish!
