I got this recipe from a coworker. She brings this salad to all the potlucks. Everyone always devours it with raves! Everyone always wants the recipe and she was happy to oblige. Wonderful flavors! She has since moved on and so I am posting it here so I don't lose it. It is written exactly as she provided. I am going to have to look up the red pepper sauce she uses and make it to figure out the amounts. Then I will edit the recipe with more exact directions.

Ingredients:

2 -3 large yams, baked until tender then cubed

1 large red bell pepper, diced

1 scallions or 1 green onion, sliced thin

1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds (to taste)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (to taste)

1/2 cup raisins (optional)

1/3 cup olive oil

sesame oil, to taste (optional)

1 teaspoon grated gingerroot

1 crushed garlic clove

2 -3 tablespoons lime juice

1/4 cup soy sauce (to taste)

1 (5 ounce) bottle thai red pepper sauce (the bottle with the rooster on the label)

Directions:

1. Mix dressing together.
2. Pour over other ingredients; mix well.
3. Serve chilled or warm.
4. Cooking time is for baking the yams.
