Nancy at Spirit Lights the way tempted my taste buds last week with a photo of Sweet Potato Fries seasoned with Lime Salt & Fresh Mint with a Sweet and Spicy Dipping Sauce on the side.

It sounded like it was right up my street.

• Sweet potatoes. Check
• Lime. Check
• Rock salt. Check.
• Fresh Mint. Alas I had finished the last of it a couple of days earlier.

I did have some Sweet Chilli sauce to which I added a teaspoon of honey and a dash from my ever open vermouth. So I set to work.

First I zested a lime and found a small screw top jar for salt and zest. I gave them a shake and left it to work the magic.

Zested Lime for Lime Salt & Chilli Dip

Later I scrubbed some sweet potatoes and parsnips (my own touch) and cut them into chunky chips.

My starter to enjoy by the fire!

Thank you Nancy!
