I made this using half sweet potatoes and half red potatoes, it was good although next time I will use less bean sprouts or omit them totally I really don't think they are needed in this salad, I increased the dressing amounts, all in all a very tasty salad, thanks bluemoon!...Kitten:)

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority! <br> <br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
