Spiralized sweet potato salad is a simple dish made with a healthier dressing compared to other salad dressing options. It's easy to make, a great way to use up leftovers and can be served as a main course or as a side!
This spiralized sweet potato salad is a really tasty alternative to pasta salads.
Here I've used spiralized sweet potato as a healthier substitute to pasta.
You see using spiralized vegetables like sweet potato instead of pasta provides an alternative without the calories or carbs!
Now don't get me wrong folks I am not against pasta in any way!
Why else would I create so many delicious pasta salad recipes here?
You see it's just that having pasta too often (like for nearly every meal) isn't good for us.
Having pasta once or twice a week is fine.
The carbohydrates provided from pasta are a vital source of energy.
It's just like anything else when it comes to too much.
Excessive overeating of pasta can make you fat (unless you're burning it off by running a marathon every day!).
So, if you're like my other half and I and you really love your pasta and can't do without it most nights, then spiralizing vegetables to provide a healthier lower calorie, low carb option is perfect!
For the healthier dressing in this spiralized sweet potato salad recipe I've used my delicious yogurt based hollandaise sauce.
You can find that dressing in my popular healthy eggs benedict recipe.
That recipe makes plenty of sauce for the eggs benedict and some left over too, so this salad is perfect for using more of it up!

Perks up ears...
Did someone say spiralized? Did someone say sweet potato ?
I did an oil tasting of various types of oil last year at the NOW foods immersion event, and it was really eye opening!

Spiralized sweet potato is just amazing isn't it?
I'm with you there that oil tasting is really eye opening. I've done a few of them myself and I'm really into olive oils that are naturally infused with say chilli or garlic or other flavours like that.

You know, I really need to give spiralizing a shot. Believe it or not, I've never spiralized anything. And I've got a spiralizer in the drawer in the kitchen...somewhere. 🙂 I love, love, love pasta, and I seriously could probably eat pasta every.single.night! I'm digging the idea of frying up these sweet potatoes for a salad though. Sounds delicious, Neil! Hope you and Lynne have an awesome weekend!

Hi David, I often forget about kitchen gadgets that I've got lying about in my kitchen drawers!
Some of my gadgets like my spiralizer are placed strategically around the kitchen and are visible on a daily basis to me, reminding me to use them.
Then there's all those attachments I bought for my Kitchenaid lying forgotten in drawers or at the back of cupboards...... lol
Yep, I could certainly join you in eating pasta every night. In fact you might like what I've got coming up next on Tuesday!
Hope you guys have a fun packed weekend too! 🙂

Sweet potatoes are my main staple these days. I am obsessed with them. It's all I wanna eat with my salmon, and I get really sad if it doesn't make it on the menu for the day (which is very rare).
I have never done the spiralized sweet potato though. And I have never cooked it in a skillet! Ha! So CLEARLY I need to branch out a little - and I think I need to with THIS recipe!

Doesn't sweet potato go SO WELL with salmon GiGi?
And talking of salmon, I haven't had that in ages myself either!
I've only just got and started using a skillet myself. The fact I've got one is adding a whole load of new recipe ideas into my already bulging recipe idea compartment. LOL
Have a great weekend!

OH WOW! I have been looking for a good alternative to pasta. This looks amazing and so delicious. I have got to try it.
You have a great blog here, I really love the healthy , and scrumptious recipes you create. Thank you for showing us that there is life after cake and biscuits?

Hi Ashika, I'm so glad you like this! 🙂
Spiralizing is such a great healthy (and quicker) way of getting your pasta fix and I highly recommend it.
We eat plenty of spiralized veggies because we would so miss our cake and biscuits if we didn't. Its all about the balance isn't it? 😉
