Challenge #24- Sweet Potato Salad

Something that I used to absolutely love was potato salad.  Sadly this means a recipe of many No's for me.  But on the bright side this has given me the opportunity to create a delicious alternative that is simple to make and healthy as well.
The No's: White potato, mayo
The Swaps: Sweet Potato (and who doesn't love sweet potato!), Dijon dressing

Ingredients:
Sweet Potatoes (2-3)
Scallions
Red Pepper
Yellow Pepper
Celery
Juice of 1 lemon
Dijon Mustard (about 1-2 tablespoons)
Sea Salt
Garlic

Step 1: Peel and cut sweet potatoes into cubes.
Step 2: Boil until potatoes are fork tender
Step 3: While potatoes are cooking, juice 1 lemon and mix in mustard and sea salt to taste and set
             aside. Finely chop all  other ingredients and add to large bowl.
Step 4: Drain sweet potatoes and let cool (until no more steam coming from potatoes).
Step 5: Add cooled sweet potatoes to bowl of other ingredients.  Toss everything together with dressing.
Step 6: Enjoy!  I let this sit in the fridge to let the flavors develop before eating, but this is only a suggestion.
