As you can see from the set of pictures I took, I served the slow cooker lechon I made the other day with a delicious side of ensaladang kamote tops. ‘Cause you know, there’s nothing like teaming up a fatty slab of pork belly with nutritious sweet potato leaves and tomato salad for long, healthy life. 😂

Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, kamote tops are, indeed, one of the best superfoods you can incorporate into your diet. Unfortunately, some of these nutrients can be lost from improper or overcooking of the vegetable.
To preserve most of their health benefits, cook them briefly either by blanching in hot water or steaming just until wilted. Quickly plunge in iced water to stop the cooking process and maintain crispness. Drain well.

The sweet potato leaves salad is generously doused in a simple vinaigrette dressing made with vinegar, garlic, oil, salt, pepper, and a touch of sugar to balance the acidity.
Helpful Tips
- Make the salad extra yummy by adding chopped salted eggs (itlog na maalat) for a touch of savory flavor.
- Toss in some chopped Thai chili peppers if you want a kick of spice.
