This salad is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the sweet potatoes and corn, and they don't even notice the black beans.

This salad is very versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add a bit of chopped red onion for a little extra crunch.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I had some leftover from Thanksgiving dinner and this was the perfect way to use them up.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this salad was to make. I used pre-cooked sweet potatoes, which saved me a lot of time. The marinade was also very simple to put together.
