Yam Pineapple Salad image

Flavored with celery, cashews & red bell pepper, this salad is not only yummy but is so colorful and makes a lovely dish for holidays.The word yam comes from African words njam, nyami, or djambi, meaning "to eat," and was first recorded in America in 1676. I found it in an ARP magazine from chef Art Smith.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover ham. I added some chopped ham to mine and it was delicious.

I'm allergic to pineapple, so I substituted mango in this salad. It turned out great!

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more spices or herbs.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less pineapple next time.

I'm not a huge fan of yams, but I really enjoyed this salad. The pineapple and celery helped to balance out the sweetness of the yams.

This salad was a hit at my last potluck! The combination of sweet pineapple, creamy yams, and crunchy celery was a perfect balance of flavors. I will definitely be making this again.
