The combination of sweet potatoes along woth kidney beans tossed in a lemony yogurt dressing is simply delectable. The salad is not just about the potatoes and the beans; its about what it gets added along with to highten its flavors. And the ingredient here is celery, raisins and red onions. The sharpness of the red onions along with the sharpness of celery gets balaced out with goodness of raisins. At home we make this salad as our main course for dinner along with some home made baguette and a hot bowl of soup.
