It's as fruity as you want it to be. This sweet-potato salad recipe from vegalicious.org, a good resource for vegans, is loaded with bananas, apples and dried apricots, and has a sweet, citrusy dressing -- which reminds us that the sweet potato isn't fit only to be served plain and baked or, in Thanksgiving fashion, stuck in a casserole and smothered with marshmallows.

One of the most delicious ways to serve sweet potatoes is to roast them, then toss with a lime-cilantro mixture -- a Gourmet recipe that even my sweet-potato-casserole-loving mom asks me to make again and again. For the savory counterpart to the fruity salad above, try a sweet-potato salad recipe heavy on tomatoes, snap peas, onion and celery.
