What Makes This Sweet Potato Salad So Good
This is one of those side dishes I make on repeat because it works everywhere. You can swap the dried fruit, serve it warm or cold, and even make it ahead, which makes it easy to pair with just about anything.
The miso keeps the dressing from going too sweet, the maple balances it out, and the peanuts add a nice crunch. The goat cheese gets a little melty if the potatoes are warm, which makes the whole thing extra comforting.
You can serve this warm, room temp, or cold, and it pairs easily with chicken, salmon, or steak, or works on its own for a simple lunch.
