Recipe Notes

I’ve enjoyed this sweet potato salad cold, at approximately 25 °C, and even warmed up as a side at dinner. Keep leftovers within the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

The original recipe calls for a red Fresno chili. I was unable to find one, and swapped a seeded jalapeño. This was delicious!
