2 tablespoons light-colored honey
2 tablespoons lemon juice

This salad is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I always have a few leftover after Thanksgiving and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise-based dressings, but this one is really good. It's light and tangy, and it doesn't overpower the other flavors in the salad.
