This is a great recipe for a healthy and flavorful side dish. I used a mix of orange and grapefruit juice in the dressing, and it was delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

I love the combination of sweet potatoes and citrus. This salad is a great way to brighten up a winter meal. I also added some crumbled goat cheese, which gave it a nice tangy flavor.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I roasted them with some olive oil and salt, and then tossed them with the dressing and some chopped walnuts. It was a delicious and easy side dish.

I'm always looking for new ways to cook sweet potatoes, and this recipe is a keeper. The orange-maple dressing is amazing, and the roasted sweet potatoes are perfectly caramelized.

I'm not usually a fan of sweet potato salad, but this recipe changed my mind. The dressing is light and flavorful, and the sweet potatoes are roasted until they're caramelized and slightly crispy. I'll definitely be making this again.

This sweet potato salad was a hit at my last potluck! The orange-maple dressing was perfectly balanced, and the sweet potatoes were roasted to perfection. I'll definitely be making this again.
