| Ingredients - sweet potatoes, corn, onion, parsley and feta |
First we peeled the potatoes and cut them into small cubes.

We shucked the corn and cut off the kernels. Then we blanched the sweet potatoes and corn in boiling water for a few, drained and cooled them.

In the meantime, an onion was chopped and the dressing was made (recipe below).

After the corn and sweet potato mixture was cooled, we added the onions, parsley and feta. (We used a sweet onion and dried parsley, but you could substitute red onion and/or fresh parsley) Then poured the dressing and stirred. It was best after being chilled for an hour or so, allowing all the flavors to set in. The first taste was delicious but we decided to add a can of drained black beans to it and it was perfect! I only wish the final picture had the black beans in it - such a beautiful dish and everyone was a fan.
