The natural sweetness of yams, with crunchy celery, tart cranberries and the light-lemon and oil dressing will make this different salad one that you’ll include where you need potato salad.

Sweet Potato Salad

1 pound sweet potatoes (about 4 cups)

1 1/2 cups chopped celery

1/2 cup coarsely chopped onion

1 tablespoon minced parsley

1/4 cup dried cranberries

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt to taste

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

5. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil. Toss with potato mixture and salt.
