How to Make Sweet Potato Salad

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, black pepper and salt. Add the sweet potatoes and stir until evenly coated. Place the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until fork tender.
Step 3

While the potatoes cook, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, mustard and honey in the bowl used for the sweet potatoes; stir until well combined and smooth. Add the green onions, celery, dill, parsley and paprika and mix until just combined.
Step 4

When the potatoes are done cooking, remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes. In small batches, add the potatoes to the yogurt mixture, tossing gently to coat evenly. If desired, season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with green onions.
