About this recipe
Serves 4 Choose avocados are on the firm side – Donnie, Simmonds and Russell are some of the early-season Florida varieties. Cotija cheese, slightly salty, is similar to Parmesan cheese.
Instructions
Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add salt and sweet potato chunks. Boil for 15-18 minutes until tender on the outside but not mushy. Drain and cool. Place in large bowl.
Meanwhile, make vinaigrette: Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, salt and pepper. Whisk in cilantro, scallions and jalapeno. Pour vinaigrette over and gently mix. Top with cotija cheese and serve.
