About 4 years ago, I met Christine. We met because we worked together, but we became friends because we shared an interest in fitness and healthy eating. One day she brought a tupperware container full of this amazing sweet potato salad for me to try. I have to admit, I hate(d) potato salad. I don’t like mayonnaise. This didn’t seem like something I’d be in love with. But, I tried it to be polite…plus you never know until you try 🙂 Oh. My. Gah! This was light, had a sweet and salty thing going on, plus it was packed with lean protein and complex carb action from the sweet potato. I begged her for the recipe & now I’m sharing it with you guys. Thanks Christine!
