Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.

While the sweet potatoes are cooking, dice the red and green bell peppers and finely chop the red onion. Chop the cilantro and parsley finely.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked sweet potatoes, bell peppers, red onion, cilantro, and parsley.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until all ingredients are well coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm or at room temperature.
