black bean sweet potato salad
I had several leftover sweet potatoes that were going to go bad if I didn't use them fast. So I decided to try something savory with them. I had grilled sweet potatoes and seasoned them with red pepper before, and knew those flavors went really well together. So I got into my kitchen and started pulling ingredients out. The black beans were a last minute addition to add another texture/flavor to this dish. Family loved it and it is now asked for regularly! Enjoy!
