Recipe Inspiration

I was scrolling through our Pinterest feed the other day and stumbled upon this Cranberry Sweet Potato Salad that we made for Thanksgiving last year and wanted to make it again, but this time, change it up for a more summer-like flavor. Since I already knew that the base of those recipe worked well, I decided to add-in tropical flavors instead of the original flavors.

  39. 6 Ingredient Creamy Tropical Sweet Potato Salad {Vegan, Paleo + Whole 30!} (53)Jami Van Brocklin says

    I am making this right now for our vegetarian potluck. I used canned sweet potatoes and roasted them in the oven. I used pineapple in a can and shredded it. I also used vanilla coconut milk with plain Greek yogurt (turned out just fine). I won’t be adding macadamia nuts. I tweaked it some. I can’t wait to try it.

    The yogurt is not Whole 30 compliant, for anyone who is wondering. Looks like a great recipe for those who can eat dairy though!

  42. 6 Ingredient Creamy Tropical Sweet Potato Salad {Vegan, Paleo + Whole 30!} (56)Bethany And Rachel says

    Hi Melanie,
    in the recipe it states that you can also sub in coconut cream, which is Whole30 🙂

  43. 6 Ingredient Creamy Tropical Sweet Potato Salad {Vegan, Paleo + Whole 30!} (57)Amanda says
