Start Cooking
Prepare the Sweet Potato
-
Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
-
Using your peeler, peel sweet potato into thin strips. Drop a few potato strips at a time into the hot oil and fry until they curl up a bit and the edges are golden and crisp, about three to four minutes. Remove from oil and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Prepare the Pastrami
-
Meanwhile, grease a grill pan with non-stick cooking spray.
-
Add pastrami and cook until pastrami is crunchy. Cut into 2-inch pieces and set aside.
Prepare the Dressing
-
Combine vinegar, salt, sugar, mustard, and garlic in a medium bowl or jar. Blend using an immersion blender.
-
Slowly add in the oil and blend.
Assemble the Salad
-
In a large bowl or on individual plates, combine Romaine lettuce and red onion. Top with pastrami pieces and sweet potato strips.
-
Serve with dressing on the side. (You will have extra. Reserve remaining dressing for next time.)
