Instructions

Prepare your sweet potatoes by method of choice: boiling, steaming, or microwaving. Add your fork-tender potatoes to a large mixing bowl to cool.
Add the veggies, seeds, and cranberries to the cooked sweet potato.
Mix together the mayo dressing and pour it over the salad.
Toss everything to coat and combine. Chill before serving.

Notes

You can peel and cube sweet potatoes yourself and boil them on the stove for 5-10 minutes depending on the size of the cubes. Just until fork tender and their shape still holds. You can also steam them or use frozen cubed sweet potatoes and microwave according to package directions.
You can swap dried cranberries for raisins and sunflower seeds for pumpkin seeds if needed!
Store leftover sweet potato salad in the fridge for 7 days. You can serve this recipe cold or at room temperature.
