New York strip steak. Red pepper sweet potato salad

Once more I bring you the grilled red pepper sweet potato salad----mmm,yum, yum. This time paired with a New York strip steak (cooked medium), fresh garden salad, and side plate of sliced strawberries and white cheddar cheese.

To drink a 2009 Luminous Hills Estate Grown Pinot Noir and a mojito which was for appetizers but I didn't get it all drank before dinner was ready so it came to dinner too, I also had a glass of water but too many glasses make for a cluttered picture. (Please do not drink and drive).

The Pinot Noir was almost overpowered by all the great tastes in this meal. It still held its own and remember...for Pinot Noir---colour does NOT matter.

This was a lovely delicious meal. and here's the link to the recipe. The jalapeno peppers were not used in this salad and they are optional.

Good day and happy cooking.

Grilled salmon, grilled red pepper sweet potato salad

Hello, I am catching up on all my food posts today (ie, I remembered to bring my phone to computer connection).

Isn't this a lovely picture? I was recently invited to a friends home for dinner and this is what was served. Grilled salmon, grilled red pepper sweet potato salad and grilled sweet potato slices. Paired with a favorite wine of mine, a viognier from Dascomb cellars. (reminder do not drink and drive). It was all very tasty. A lovely explosion of colour for your eyes, bouquet for your nose, and tastes for your tongue.

I fell in love with the grilled red pepper sweet potato salad, so much so that while raving about it to a friend I was asked what the main course was and could not for the life of me remember what it was. I had to look at my picture to remember that it was salmon. LOL

Aren't the colours of the salad just divine? Red, orange and the green of the cilantro make it pop. It had a cilantro lime salad dressing that completed it and made it luscious and it tasted even better than it looks.

Truly, if you want to impress, google "grilled red pepper sweet potato salad" and you should have a recipe pop up. Its delish.

Good day and happy cooking.
