Tips:

  • For a crispier bacon dressing, cook the bacon until it is very crispy, and then drain it on paper towels before crumbling it.
  • If you don't have time to make the warm bacon dressing, you can use a store-bought vinaigrette or a simple dressing made with olive oil, vinegar, and salt and pepper.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, cook the sweet potatoes and bacon, and then let them cool completely. Store the sweet potatoes and bacon in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve the salad, assemble it and drizzle with the warm bacon dressing.
  • This salad is also delicious served warm. To serve warm, reheat the sweet potatoes and bacon in the microwave or in a warm oven before assembling the salad.
  • For a vegetarian version of this salad, omit the bacon and use a vegetable-based dressing, such as a vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and Dijon mustard.

Conclusion:

Sweet Potato Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet potatoes are roasted until they are tender and slightly caramelized, and the warm bacon dressing adds a savory and smoky flavor.
