Susan's Sweet Potato Side Salad

Description
Yogurt and red-wine vinegar make a smooth and tasty dressing for this easy picnic dish. Tarragon or parsley can be added or used as a substitute for basil. Since sweet potatoes are available year-round, try serving this dish warm in cooler months; simply drain the potatoes and don’t rinse them before adding the dressing.
