Shaved Sweet Potato Salad

• 1 lb sweet potato, peeled, coarsely grate, and blanched
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 medium garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• salt, to taste

1. Grate or spiralize your peeled sweet potato, then blanch in boiling water.
2. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Using a spiralizer or cheese grater, create shredded sweet potato "noodles". Set aside.
3. Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the sweet potato noodles until tender but still holding their shape, about 1 to 2 minutes depending on the thickness of your noodles.
4. Immediately drain your noodles and place in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking.
5. Mix onions, garlic clove, hot sauce, cilantro, parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, pepper and salt in a bowl. Then add sweet potato to the bowl and toss to dress. Serve.
