Re: Aloha Sweet Potato Salad

I should add- its good with chopped pecans instead of macadamias (kind of loses the "aloha" factor though!)

I frequently add sliced green onions too, both for color and flavor...

Sounds really good. I'm glad it doesn't have too much mayo either!

Thanks for sharing this recipe!

I think roasted pine nuts would be good as well. I always have those.

Re: Aloha Sweet Potato Salad

This sounds so very good. I love sweet potatoes more savory. Usually I like them with grilled onions and peppers and some sweet baby Ray's bbq sauce on top.I sure will try this.

Re: Aloha Sweet Potato Salad

So do you dice the potatoes before cooking and how small?

Re: Aloha Sweet Potato Salad

debc, I like them about the same size (or a little smaller) as the pineapple chunks- sort of an aesthetic thing with me..

This is great at barbecues!
