ROASTED SWEET POTATO SALAD WITH RED PEPPER VINAGRETTE



Roasted Sweet Potato Salad With Red Pepper Vinagrette image

I LOVE sweet potatoes, and this is quite possible the most brilliant combination of flavors with sweet potatoes I have ever seen. Unlike a traditional potato salad, which is best chilled, this is best served slightly warm or at room temperature. It's a delicious paring with just about anything southwestern, but also goes well with salmon.

  • Scrub the potatoes well before cooking. You can leave the skin on, or peel them if you prefer.
