Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm and unblemished sweet potatoes. Avoid any that have soft spots or bruises.
  • Cook the sweet potatoes properly: Boiling is the most common way to cook sweet potatoes for salads, but you can also roast or grill them. If boiling, cook until tender but not mushy. If roasting, cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes, or until tender.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The orange-ginger dressing can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, and mint, can add a lot of flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Add just enough dressing to coat the salad lightly.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato salad with orange-ginger dressing is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make the best sweet potato salad every time.
