    Sweet potatoes are lovely little tubers, but this particular recipe had us at "lime dressing." Take a look at the ingredients, and you'll quickly see why.

    The lime dressing is thick, rich, creamy, and delicately tangy with olive oil, homemade mayonnaise, ¼ cup of fresh lime juice, cilantro, ground cumin, and jalapeño (the latter being optional if you like it hot). If you prefer your dressing on the sweet-sour side, a dash of honey will gratify your sweet tooth, bite after bite.

    To begin, you'll want to dice your sweet potatoes and squash into bite-size pieces; ambercup is a nice squash to work with - the kind you make ambercup coconut milk dessert in.

    While they are roasting in the oven, you get the pleasure of preparing the lime dressing. It is simple - put all ingredients in a bowl and whisk away. Then add it to the cooled roasted potatoes and squash, along with the finely chopped celery and crumbled bacon.

    Yes, the four slices of bacon add a familiar crunch of flavor, and that appeals to children of all ages, so make sure to add it in. Bacon tastes strangely wonderful with lime dressing...

    If your brain is going wild with the possibilities (ours certainly are), then you might even think of one-day serving lime dressing with poached eggs. Skip the Hollandaise sauce and go straight to the good stuff. Like all things in life, you never know if you like it until you try it. Are you ready for lime dressing on your salad?
