3 large Sweet Potatoes, peeled – chucked and steamed ( make sure the chucks do not get mushy)
In a bowl chop:

Dressing:
- 1/2c oil ( I use olive oil)
- 1/4c applecider vinegar
- 2 T honey ( agave- vegan)

- Whisk together
Let sweet potato cool & mix above ingredients together
Add…anything you want:
- dried cranberries
- pine nuts
- sunflower seeds
- pumpkin seeds

To mix.. I transfer all these ingredients back and forth between 2 bowls. The sweet potatoes may mesh.. so transferring works better to mix. Play with ingredients amounts.. to taste.. You know!!
