Ingredients

  • 2.5 lb sweet potato (peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 red onion (finely diced for even distribution)
  • 2 stalks celery (finely diced)
  • 1/3 cup sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning (Old Bay)
  • 1.25 cups mayonnaise
  • 1.5 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 1.5 teaspoons dried chives

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sweet potatoes: Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Boil or steam them until tender but not mushy, then drain well and let cool slightly.
  2. Mix the dressing: In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, yellow mustard, fresh lime juice, seafood seasoning, dried parsley, and dried chives. Stir to blend the flavors evenly.
  3. Add vegetables: Add the finely diced red onion, celery, and sweet pickle relish to the dressing mixture, stirring to combine thoroughly.
  4. Combine and season: Gently fold the cooled sweet potatoes into the salad mixture until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste.
  5. Chill and serve: Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

  • For even flavor distribution, finely dice the red onion and celery.
  • Letting the salad chill for at least 30 minutes enhances the taste.
