I made it just like the recipe and it came out great. After reading the comments, I think I’ll try adding a TBSP of lemon juice for a little punch. Yum!
Great alternative to regular potato salad.
Easy and delicious – doesn’t get much better than that!
Delicious! Cut back on brown sugar by 2/3. Added celery, craisins, green onions, salt, lemon juice, and a dash of cinnamon. Omitted the raisins. Substituted pecans for the walnuts. Yummy!
This was very good. I did substitute craisins and also used pecans because that was all I had on hand. I think next time I will reduce the amount of sugar it was just a tad too sweet for out tastes.
A keeper! Compliments galore with this quick and easy receipe.Refrigerate overnight so the mayo and brown sugar absorb well. If you double I would suggest 1 3/4 mayo and 3/4 brown sugar. I had to drain some of the dressing because as written it’s too much. This will be a hit.
We liked this salad. It is savory and hearty. I would definitely make it again. I also used half the mayo and sugar and substituted it for the lemon juice and apples.
Easy to put together. Definitely different.
This was pretty good. different
great salad….used 1 cup of light salad dressing and 1/2 cup of cranraisins plus a half TBSP of lemon juice.wow this was very good paired with the buffalo steak that was grilled to a perfect meduim-well.
I was pleasantly surprised with this recipe. The flavor was nice. I did substitute the walnuts with pecans for those that were allergic. It still received compliments.
THIS IS A GREAT RECIPE! EVERYONE LOVED IT AT OUR LAST FAMILY GATHERING, ALTHOUGH I DID CUT THE MAYO AND BROWN SUGAR BY HALF AND ADDED SLICED GOLDEN DELICIOUS APPLES. THANKS FOR A GREAT NEW WAY TO GET MY KIDS TO EAT SWEET POTATOES!
You’ll be a fan of this fall salad if you like Waldorf salad. I served it with a nice pot roast, and my guests raved.
I prepared this recipe just as directed. After tasting it I added a tablespoon of lemon juice. It really brought out the flavors. This salad is even better the next day and goes great with a cold turkey sandwich.
This is definitely a different twist on sweet potatoes. I used canned instead of fresh, and it turned out somewhat mushy. However, I am taking that into consideration in my rating, and I give it a four.
