Orange Sweet Potato Salad image

Skip the traditional sweet potato casserole and try this salad sensation instead. Writes Roberta freedman of Mesilla Park, New Mexico, "I really like this different treatment for sweet potatoes-I first tasted something similar at a friend's house years ago. This was a favorite of our children during the holidays. Now it's our grandson's favorite, too."

This salad is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I roasted a few extra sweet potatoes for dinner one night and then used them to make this salad the next day. It was a quick and easy lunch that was also really healthy and delicious.
