Really a good Salad

I really love sweet potatoes and this is a great way to have them that is different. I think I will use a little more curry powder the next time I make it though as I like a little more flavor. A really great recipe for a change.

Really, really good

This was fabulous! No one else in my family will eat sweet potatoes so I shared it with my mom and a friend. Everyone liked it!
