Follow The Directions

01

Step
20 mins

In a Dutch oven, combine the diced sweet potatoes and potatoes. Cover with water, bring to a rolling boil, and cook until fork-tender, approximately 20 minutes. Avoid overcooking to prevent mushiness. Drain well and allow the potatoes to cool slightly.

02

Step
5 mins

While the potatoes are cooking, in a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, turmeric, chives, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.

03

Step
5 mins

Add the crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and finely chopped red onion to the dressing. Gently fold in the slightly cooled, cooked potatoes, ensuring they are evenly coated with the flavorful dressing.

04

Step
2 mins

Serve the warm sweet potato salad immediately, garnished with extra fresh chives or green onion for a pop of color and added freshness.

For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and consider adding toasted pecans or walnuts for a satisfying crunch.
Feel free to adjust the amount of Dijon mustard and balsamic vinegar to suit your taste preferences. A touch of honey or maple syrup can be added for a hint of sweetness, if desired.
This salad is best served warm, but it can also be enjoyed at room temperature. If preparing ahead of time, store the dressed salad in the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature before serving.
