Steamed Sweet Potato, Broccoli, and Bean Salad image

I wanted to bring sweet potatoes to work for lunch, but didn't want plain old potatoes cooked in the microwave. So I threw this together. Would be good hot or cold. The recipe should make a hearty lunch for two (or three?) -- or serve as a side dish. I used chickpeas but black or pinto beans would probably be just as good.

I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but I really enjoyed this salad. The sweet potatoes and dressing were so good that I forgot all about the broccoli.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I also like to add a dollop of Greek yogurt to the dressing for extra creaminess.
