Sugar and Spice Chipotle Sweet Potato Salad image

This is a favorite salad of mine to serve during the holidays; especially around Thanksgiving! The dressing comes together in a hurry, and you can forget the sweet potatoes in the oven while you cook other dishes. Its a great change from the traditional marshmallow side dish with a smokey spice from the chipotle and a sweet note from the honey, balsamic vinegar, and roasted veggies. Enjoy!
