Sweet potatoes aren't just for Thanksgiving anymore. We used them to put a spin on our potato salad, that all-American picnic side dish.

2 large sweet potato(es), peeled and cut into chunks (about 1 1/4 lbs)
3 Tbsp reduced-calorie mayonnaise
3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp five-spice powder
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
1/2 cups currants
1/8 tsp table salt, or to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste

Instructions


1. Steam sweet potato chunks until tender, about 5 minutes; cool to room temperature.
2. Whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice and five-spice powder. Pour over sweet potatoes and toss gently.
3. Add walnuts and currants; toss. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Yields about 3/4 cup per serving.
