A few recipes in our archive are old favorites, some we make often and some have faded into memory. I came across this one the other day and knew we had to remake it. This healthy potato salad is a different type of potato salad: potatoes served over greens instead of with mayo. It can be either a main or a side salad featuring roasted red potatoes, sweet potatoes, hard-boiled eggs and greens with our very favorite honey mustard vinaigrette.

How to make sweet potato salad
A friend of mine told me she loves the dressing in this sweet potato salad because it’s easy to remember: 2, 2, 2, and 4. That is, 2 tablespoons each of white wine vinegar, honey, and stone ground mustard, and 4 tablespoons olive oil. It always stuck with me that she liked that, and to this day if we have a chance to make a memorable ratio in a recipe, we do it.

This very tasty. We liked the 2 potato combination along with the greens. Thank you for posting this little gem.
That vinaigrette looks so yummy. I love the 222 concept. There’s nothing like homemade salad dressing :)
I feel ya on cleaning up some posts from the teenage years of blogging. I’ve been doing the same thing over the past few months!
This salad looks awesome. I love anything with roasted sweet potatoes and honey mustard dressing is one of my favorites!
That mustard vinaigrette sounds great with the potatoes! Such a delicious sounding meal!
Oooo this sounds great! I’m always looking for stuff that will go in lunch boxes for work and I think this might just work…
Omg, I’m dying to try this and I feel so sheepish for never having tried putting potatoes and sweet potatoes together! It’s the perfect way to get the best of both worlds! Love this!
