Ingredients
- Dirt Candy Salad
- 1 orange sweetpotato peeled, medium dice
- 1 white sweetpotato peeled, medium dice
- 1 purple sweetpotato peeled, medium dice
- 4 turnips baby hakeuri/japanese turnips have a milder flavor if you can find them.
- 4 baby beets
- 1 radish shaved thinly (The French breakfast radish has a similar appearance to the familiar cherry belle radish, but it differs in shape, being elongated with edible leafy greens on top. It offers a mild, peppery, and slightly sweet flavor, along with a crisp texture)
- swiss chard leaves If these can not be found use the leafy greens from your beets.
- Lime Yogurt
- 1 tablespoon sorghum molasses
- 1 lime
- "Dirt"
- 2 slices pumpernickel bread

- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon pistachios toasted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Dirt Candy Salad: Roast all veg until tender by wrapping in individual foil pouches with salt and a pinch of sugar. Allow to cool, dip each piece in lime yogurt (recipe follow then coat in “dirt” (another recipe to follow), and arrange on a serving plate. Toss the radish and chard in a little olive oil and lime juice and arrange artfully around veg.
- Lime Yogurt: Caramelize sorghum over medium heat, cooking until it is dark brown and very sweet smelling. Deglaze with fresh lime juice. Allow to cool, then mix thoroughly with Greek yogurt.
- "Dirt": Toast bread until dry. Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and resembles soil.
