As promised this morning, this afternoon I’m going to share my recipe for sweet potato salad with you guys.
Like I mentioned earlier, I loved the regular potato salad I made on Sunday so much, that I had to make a version for my favorite starch – the sweet potato.
Before I even googled “sweet potato salad" I had the ingredients in my mind. Good thing, because what I found with my search was no where near what I was thinking. I trusted my instincts and went with what I thought sweet potato salad should entail, and I’m glad I did!
Sweet Potato Salad
Time: 20 minutes
Serves: 4
2 medium sweet potatoes
3/4 c. Greek yogurt
1/4 c. almond butter (peanut butter would probably work too)
2 tbsp. maple syrup
2-3 tbsp. pecan pieces
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. sea salt
Boil the potatoes until tender. Drain the water and cool to at least room temperature. Chop into 1 inch pieces – the skin will likely come off in the process, which is fine – and set aside in a large bowl. Meanwhile, start on your sauce by stirring the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl until smooth. Add the sauce to the potatoes and toss to coat. Put the potato salad in the refrigerator until chilled and ready to eat.
Mmmm. I had another helping with lunch today! I forsee a lot more sweet potato salad this summer 
What’s your favorite version of potato salad?
My mom used to get the mustard kind from Kroger, and that’s always been my #1 favorite. Unfortunately, Shane hates mustard. However, we both loved this one! Either way, I love my potato salad to have some crunch to it.
yumm this sounds soo good! I don’t usually eat potato salad because I don’t care for mayo but this salad is right up my alley!
I am usually not a potato salad fan since I cannot stand any mayo type substances or am not a regular potato fan
And my husband does not eat cold potatoes…don’t ask. haha
But last summer I fell in love with a potato salad from Oh She Glows http://ohsheglows.com/2011/05/24/asparagus-and-potato-salad/
This salad looks awesome, love the ingredients and sweet potatoes! I need to make it ASAP!!
Woo hoo! Thanks for posting the recipe
Oh man, with those sweet ingredients I’d probably end up just smashing this in a bowl and eating it with a spoon.
I’m not normally a potato salad fan, but this looks great!
Oh wow, this looks YUMMY! The first thing I thought of when I read “sweet potato salad” was using greek yogurt! YUM!
i’m definitely making this in the very near future!! it looks so good – all my favorite things in one dish. can’t go wrong with that!
I was never a potato salad fan growing up. But I think it was only because of how it had been prepared. I have changed my tune – but I still don’t like it cold
I like vinegar or mustard based potato salad…never mayo! Sweet potato salad, now that’s something I can get behind! YUM
