1 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes, scrubbed, quartered lengthwise & cut crosswise into 3/4-inch pieces (or yams)
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped

Steps:

In a large pot, steam prepared yams 10 to 15 minutes or until tender, then remove from steamer.
When cool enough to handle, peel yams (if desired; I don't), then place in a large salad bowl.
While yams cool, combine vinegar, pickle relish, mustard, salt & pepper in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid, & shake well.
Add vegetable oil & shake again, before pouring over yams & tossing them to coat.
Add green onions & red pepper & either serve at room temperature or chilled.
