Dijon Sweet Potato Salad

Believe it or not, one does not need mayonnaise to make potato salad. Maybe you already knew this, maybe it's a little obvious. But I never really considered the idea until making this dijon sweet potato salad recipe and now it's my favorite way to make potato salad.

We developed this recipe for Edible Indy's latest issue, with picnics and summer adventuring in mind. Although I've made a broccoli salad and another sweet potato salad with vegannaise, I've always been a little weirded out about the thought of mayo being included in a dish that might sit in the heat. (Actually, I've always been weirded out by mayo in general – anyone else with me on this one?) My distaste for the ingredient is what brings us here today, so I'm perfectly fine with it. Because I LOVE mustard.

And mustard loves sweet potatoes. Together, they create a balance of tangy and sweet, bold and subtle, fresh and comforting.

While this dijon sweet potato salad recipe is perfect for all kinds of warm weather fun, it's also a great way to eat sweet potatoes all. year. round. Because that's what sweet potatoes are for, right?!

    I'm with you about mayo. I don't use enough to buy the vegan version or make my own. I usually go with yoghurt, a creamy salad dressing or do without. I am sure happy to make this recipe. In fact, I will make it tonight so I can it with me on the train tomorrow. I arrived here looking for a sweet potato casserole but the link didn't work. I will keep looking, gathering other recipes along the way.

      Yogurt is a great substitution, too! I hope you enjoy the recipe. :) Sorry about the broken link! I'll try to see where the issue is. In the meantime, here's a direct link to that casserole! ––> https://thefitchen.com/spicy-vegan-sweet-potato-casserole-2/
