Melon and Sweet Potato Salad
This is a good way to use up that leftover barbecued chicken and melon from yesterday's picnic. It's also a good way to think of sweet potatoes for something other than Thanksgiving. Makes 4 Servings


Ingredients:

1 cup cooked sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 teaspoon grated ginger
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup cubed melon (other than watermelon)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar or other mild vinegar
1 cup cooked, skinless chicken breast meat, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 cup celery crescents, cut 1/4-inch thick
Kosher salt to taste
1/4 cup toasted, sliced almonds
Lettuce leaves


Instructions:
1. Combine potatoes, melon, chicken, celery, and almonds in a mixing bowl.

2. In a smaller bowl, combine remaining ingredients except lettuce. Add to chicken mixture and toss well. Serve on lettuce leaves.
