Green Bean Delivery + Sweet Potato Fiesta Salad

This Sweet Potato Fiesta Salad is a fun twist on traditional potato salad and is perfect for picnics and backyard barbecues. 

Hi friends! I hope you all had a chance to enjoy some guacamole and tacos for Cinco de Mayo! It has been a gorgeous week in Nashville, and I’ve been trying to soak up every drop before the 90°+ temps hit us. Is it feeling more like spring or summer where you live?

There are so many exciting things to share today, so let’s get to it!

Disclosure: I received a one-time complimentary bin from Green Bean Delivery. I was not compensated for my time or for this post. I will be submitting this recipe to the #PlateProud recipe contest. All opinions are 100% my own.

First, Green Bean Delivery, an organic grocery delivery service, has a recipe contest going on right now called #PlateProud, and they want to see your original recipe! There are five categories you can submit a recipe to and over $1,200 in prizes up for grabs! The deadline to enter is May 22nd. Read the official details here.

Green Bean Delivery was kind enough to send me a complimentary combo bin since they deliver in the Nashville area. I was able to select which produce and grocery items I needed through the online store and then a few days later, a nicely packed green bin arrived on my doorstep! I was very impressed with the quality of the produce and the variety of items offered in the online store–over 1,000 items are available!

Now here’s the good news for people who live in any of the Green Bean Delivery service areas. You can apply a $15 coupon code on your first order when you use the code “15tnd” (valid until August 7th, 2015)! Still looking for a Mother’s Day gift? Green Bean Delivery sells gift cards which could make mom’s life a whole lot easier by having groceries delivered directly to the house!

So what did I make with my Green Bean Delivery items? Veggie omelets, a delicious kale salad that I’ll be sharing next week, and this Sweet Potato Fiesta Salad.

Watch out traditional, yellow potato salad! There’s a new potato salad in town.

Lightly dressed and served cold, this is the perfect spring and summer side dish. It’s colorful, packed with fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, and healthy fats, and lower in calories compared to mayonnaise-based potato salads. It’s satisfying enough that I made this my lunch one day rather than eating it as a side! This sweet potato salad would also be great on top of a spring mix salad or rolled up in a warm tortilla with salsa for a burrito.

Have you tried roasting sweet potatoes with chili powder? It’s an amazing flavor combination and a great way to add a kick of flavor! Of course, no fiesta salad would be complete without avocado, cilantro, and a touch a lime 🙂

Don’t forget to get those recipes into the #PlateProud contest before May 22nd and if you can take advantage of the coupon code for Green Bean Delivery, be sure to do so soon!
