Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled sweet potatoes, diced celery, red onion, and chopped parsley.

Pour the dressing over the sweet potato mixture and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 9

Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
