1
Make the dressing by combining the first 10 ingredients in large salad bowl. Gently boil the sweet potatoes and yams until just tender and still holding their shape. (Don't overcook or they'll fall apart when you toss them with the dressing).
2
Place the sweet potatoes and yams in a colander and drain well. Set them in the salad bowl and the green onion and mint.
3
While still warm, toss the sweet potatoes and yams into dressing. Serve the salad warm, or cool to room temperature, cover, refrigerate and serve cold.
