Variations
MAKE IT SPICY: This salad is creamy and a little bit sweet which means that it lends itself very well to the addition of a little bit of heat! Dice a jalapeno or add a small dash of cayenne pepper or chipotle. ADD PROTEIN: Easy Grilled Chicken Breast or shrimp make a great addition to turn this from a side to a main dish. Even leftover baked ham is great in this recipe! ADD KALE: we love a great Kale Salad so turning this into a kale sweet potato salad is another favorite option! Remove the hard stems of the kale and chop finely and add to the salad. Extra color and extra nutrition! It’s a win-win! CHANGE THE DRESSING: We make a zippy creamy dressing to go with this recipe. A dijon or lemon vinaigrette is another great option!
