Sweet Potato Apple Salad

SUBMITTED BY: Dorothy Smith

"Pairing a seasonal fruit and vegetable makes for a very pretty and unusual salad to accompany a turkey dinner. The poppy seed dressing has a citrus tang and really brings out the flavor. If you're looking for a different side dish, give it a try!"

Not only for Thanksgiving! I made this for a BBQ this summer and had to promise to send the recipe. Very unusual and healthy!

Made this one for a large gathering and found everyone enjoyed it. Found that when making a lot of salads it is easier to store them in zip top bags in the fridge and then put them in bowls only at seerving time. Saves room big time
