Vegan German Sweet Potato Salad

 We love German Potato Salad and thought we would make it a little more healthy.

Ingredients: serves 4-6

6 oz Hempe Bacon (we substituted hempe for tempeh and used coconut aminos)
1/2 cup celery with leaves, diced
1/2 cup red onion, diced
2 TBS sugar
1 TBS all purpose GF flour

1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground mustard
1/3 cup water
2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
3 pounds peel and sliced sweet potatoes, steamed 
2 TBS minced parsley

Directions

1. In a large skillet, sauté celery and onion in water or broth until tender.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, GF flour, salt, mustard, vinegar and water until smooth. Add to the skillet. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes until thickened.
3. In a large serving bowl, combine the potatoes, and parsley. Drizzle with sauce and stir gently to coat. Season with additional salt if desired. Crumble hempe bacon; sprinkle on salad. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers.
