You might remember this recipe I made (grilled chicken and barbecue chicken sliders recipe)for a football party. Here is the Sweet Potato with Pineapple Salad recipe I promised to share. Did you miss that post? Visit it after seeing how to make this delicious salad recipe made with sweet potatoes. 

• In the other post, I shared an awesome recipe for chicken sliders topped with sautéed onions and cheese crumbles. Plus, even more grilling tips and recipes too. 
• Where did I get this recipe? I found and adapted today’s recipe from a grilling cookbook called Grill Skills. Now, this recipe is not grilled. It is one of the side dishes in the cookbook. You peel and cut up the sweet potatoes then bake them before starting the recipe. Let’s get started.

Sweet Potato Salad with Pineapple

The cookbook also has tips for throwing parties, flowers, music, table settings, and grilling recipes. I served the recipe in clear single-serving cups. Or serve this sweet potato salad in a serving dish.

How To Make Sweet Potato Salad

1. The first thing you do is line a baking sheet with foil.
2. Next wash, peel, and cut up three large sweet potatoes. 
3. Salt, pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Bake the sweet potatoes until you can fork them (you don’t want them overly soft). Baking time is about 30 minutes.

While the sweet potatoes are baking begin washing and cutting up the vegetables. Cut up a lime, and chop the green onion and cilantro. For prepping vegetables; I put them in my Pyrex storage bowls that come with lids until needed. I left some cilantro un-chopped for garnishing.

I used a rounded 1/4 tsp. Paprika, a couple of dashes of dried red pepper flakes, and a can of cubed pineapple with 1/4 cup of the juice. Reserve the leftover pineapple juice to adjust the recipe as needed. Next, I squeezed a quarter of a lime juice into the bowl over the tops of the sweet potatoes. Stir together gently.

Next, Add all your green onions I used 5 green onions, chopped finely. Add cilantro I added a good handful about half a cup chopped. Gently stir them in.

• Now you can serve it in a bowl like this or add it to the serving cups.
• When adding the sweet potato salad into small clear party serving cups it will fill up nine.
• If served in a bowl it will serve up to 6 people. Why the difference, people typically grab a little more per serving. Make adjustments to the recipe if you need to make more servings.
• Sweet potato salad with pineapple is so good! And a delicious side dish to serve.
