Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain the sweet potatoes and set aside to cool slightly.
While the sweet potatoes are cooking, chop the bacon into small pieces. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it is crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon and drain on paper towels.
Finely chop the red onion and place it in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Add the slightly cooled sweet potatoes to the bowl with the red onion. Pour the dressing over the salad.
Add in the crispy bacon pieces and chopped parsley. Mix gently until all ingredients are well combined and coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
Serve the salad warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
