Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 2 celery stalks
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the sweet potato cubes and boil for 10-12 minutes, or until tender but not falling apart. Drain and let cool completely.
While the sweet potatoes cool, finely chop the fresh dill, dice the red onion, and slice the celery stalks into thin pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Once the sweet potatoes are cool, gently toss them in the mixing bowl with the dressing to coat evenly.
Add the chopped dill, diced red onion, and sliced celery to the bowl and gently mix until combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish or light main course. Garnish with additional fresh dill, if desired.
