Chipotle Bacon Sweet Potato Salad

Ingredients

2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled, cubed
1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
4 slices Pederson's Farms No Sugar Bacon
1 cup chipotle lime mayo
¼ red onion, chopped
¼ cup chopped pickles
1 tbsp mustard (dijon or coarse ground)
½ tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp minced garlic
½ tsp sea salt
pepper to taste
¼ cup chopped dill
¼ cup chopped chives
sprinkle of paprika for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
  2. Toss sweet potatoes with coconut oil. Spread on a baking sheet.
  3. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are easily pierced with a fork. Remove from oven, transfer to a large bowl and refrigerate until completely cooled.
  4. Make the bacon: While the sweet potatoes are baking, heat a medium skillet on medium heat. Add bacon and cook until crispy, but not burned - about 5-7 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel lined plate and let cool completely. Once cooled, chop bacon.
  5. Make the dressing: Combine mayo, onion, pickles, mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic, salt and black pepper. Stir in chives and dill, but make sure to save a little for garnish. Refrigerate dressing until the potatoes are ready.
  6. When the potatoes are cool, add dressing and bacon and toss to coat, being careful not to mash the potatoes. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. 
  7. Garnish with the remaining chopped dill, chives and a little paprika.
