This salad is just a bit unique! It uses sweet potatoes rather than white potatoes and has no mayonnaise. Sounds healthy already! Refreshing and a bit savory, it is really great made a day ahead but just as good if made early in the day and allowed to thoroughly chill before serving.
2 lbs sweet potatoes
¼ cup fat-free Greek yogurt
1 scallion, diced
1 tbls. minced chives
3 tbls olive oil
3 tbls apple cider vinegar
2 tbls prepared basil pesto
½ tsp celery seeds
¼ teaspoon hot sauce
½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
2 tsp orange zest
Peel potatoes and cut into large-size chunks. Cook in salted water until you each desired level of ‘doneness’, or about 8 minutes. Drain and place in cold water to stop cooking.
In large bowl whisk the remaining ingredients. Add potatoes and stir gently. Cover tightly and chill
Optional: Garnish with real or artificial bacon bits.
