Sweet potato

Sweet potatoes are starchy root vegetables that are grown worldwide .They are sweet and a great source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.They are also high in anti oxidant. Because of their immense health benefits I always like to add them in my family’s diet. You can have them just by boiling or roasting, but I like to make differnt salads with them . Today I am sharing a very delicious sweet and tangy salad.
