Raw Sweet Potato and Apple Salad With Maple Vinaigrette
Serve as is or over spinach, arugula or field greens.

Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled
1 skin-on Granny Smith or Gala apple, grated
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup chopped raw almonds or cashews
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
