4 medium sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds), peeled and cut into uniform 2-inch chunks
2 tablespoons salt
½ red bell pepper, seeded and diced small
½ green bell pepper, seeded and diced small
½ large red onion, diced small
¼ cup finely chopped parsley
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon minced garlic
¾ cup olive oil
¼ cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste
⅓ cup pecan halves, lightly toasted
PREPARATION
Fill sink or a large bowl with water and ice cubes. Put sweet potatoes in a large saucepan, add the salt and water to cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork but still offer some resistance and don’t break apart, 10 to 12 minutes.
Drain potatoes and immediately put them into the ice-water bath. After 1 minute, remove potatoes, drain again, and put into a large bowl along with diced peppers, onion and parsley. Make the dressing: In a large bowl, combine mustard, ketchup and garlic. Add olive oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly. Whisk in vinegar, Worcestershire and lime juice, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
Pour dressing over sweet potatoes, add pecans and toss gently.
