Sweet Potato and Snoek Salad

Serves 4

Sweet potatoes and snoek teamed up with a sweet mustard dressing is a sweet/savoury combination made in heaven and quintessentially traditional South African. You’ll also like this never-fail technique for roasting sweet potatoes. This is a filling salad suitable for a main course. Butternut in place of the sweet potato also works very well.
