SWEET POTATO AND GREEN BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Place the green beans in boiling salted water and cook until al dente. Remove and place in ice-cold water so they keep their bright green color. Drain.
• Place the pineapple juice, cumin and bay leaves in a small saucepan. Simmer on low heat until reduced by half.
• Pour the pineapple juice reduction in a bowl and mix with maple syrup and soy sauce.
• Place the olive oil in a pan over high heat, add the sweet potatoes and cook until golden brown on all sides.
• Place the sweet potatoes in a bowl and add the green beans, lemon zest and the maple-pineapple dressing. Toss until mixed. Mixing the dressing with the sweet potatoes while they are still warm allows even distribution of the dressing throughout the salad. Cool to room temperature.
• Place the arugula or watercress on the bottom of a plate and place the vegetables on top. Sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
