Ingredients:

6		Sweet Potatoes (About 1 Lb A Piece)
1/3	Cup	Plain Yogurt
3	Tbl	Mayonnaise
1	Tbl	Lime Juice
¾	Tsp	Grated Lime Zest

Directions:

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Cut 1-2 slits in the sweet potatoes to vent. Place the potatoes on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes in a 400ºF oven, until tender.

In a large serving bowl, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Coarsely chop the apple, and add to the dressing, and toss. Add the celery and walnuts and stir to combine.

When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, but still warm, peel and cut into bite size pieces. Add the still warm potatoes to the serving bowl with the yogurt dressing and toss to coat.
