How
To Make Chipotle Sweet Potato Salad :
Preheat
oven to 425°. Place sweet potatoes in a parchment-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan;
cover tightly with foil. Roast until tender, 25-30 minutes. Cool. Transfer to a
large bowl.
Add
onion, celery, poblano and jalapeno. Combine mayonnaise, lime juice, chipotle
pepper, salt and pepper; pour over potato mixture and toss gently to coat.
Refrigerate, covered, until serving. Sprinkle with cilantro.

Kitchen tip :
If
you're going to chill this salad for more than a couple of hours before
serving, stir in just half of the dressing mixture. Add the rest right before
serving for a nice creamy texture.
Note
:
Wear
disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid
touching your face.
