Sweet Potato Salad with Lemon Dijon Dressing
I first made this recipe for my 2012 Easter Dinner, but I thought I would share it again. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, this recipe would make a great side dish for your dinner festivities. There are only a few ingredients and it is super easy to put together. And, the taste is great. I love the mix of sweet potatoes and cranberries! And did I mention that this recipe is healthy? Not a lot of sugar or marshmallows in this recipe!
Feel free to add more sweet potatoes if you are feeding a larger crowd!
