INGREDIENTS
1 long, narrow sweet potato, unpeeled but well-scrubbed
1/3 cucumber, well rinsed, but unpeeled
half a container of garden cress
1/4 apple, well rinsed, but unpeeled
1 small green chilli pepper, seeds and seed membranes removed, finely chopped
a bunch of chives, about one thumb thick, chopped finely
1 tsp lemon juice
2 to 3 tbsp sour cream
3 to 4 tbsp XAVIES' Pure Toasted Nuts & Seeds
olive oil
freshly ground black pepper and coarse sea salt
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Cut the sweet potato into slices of about half a centimeter thick. Rub them with some olive oil, freshly ground black pepper and coarse sea salt, spread them on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 15 minutes.
Cut the cucumber lengthwise into 4 and remove the seeds. Cut each piece again lengthwise into 3 and then into small blocks. Cut the apple into very small cubes as well.
Mix the cucumber with the apple, chives, chili pepper, garden cress, lemon juice, 1 tsp olive oil and freshly ground black pepper and coarse sea salt.
Let the slices of sweet potato cool down a little and then put together the snacks: cover a slice of sweet potato with some cucumber salad, a dab of sour cream and finally sprinkle with some XAVIES' Toasted Nuts & Seeds.
