I am loving the combination of sweet potatoes and white potatoes together in a salad. I used chopped fresh mango instead of the chutney and only about 1/2 the curry powder (for my taste). Tangy, sweet, and delicious. I think this recipe serves only 4 and 1/2 of the mayo could be substituted with plain yogurt without sacrificing taste or texture. Served with a green salad and boneless jerk pork ribs. Made for ZWT5.

WoW! There aren't enough words to describe this flavor explosion of a salad. Sweet, tart, sassy, pretty, and totally wonderful. Each bite was swoon worthy. In an attempt to lower the fat I used half reduced fat mayo and half plain yogurt. I also added diced red pepper and fresh cilantro for a colorful presentation. I know I'll be making this salad again & again. Thank you for sharing this recipe! Discovered in the Best of ZWT7 thread. :-)

I made this tonight and what a yummy combination. I used light mayo and nonfat plain yogurt along with chutney and curry powder and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. I also added chopped cilantro (I didn't use scallions because my husband is allergic). Now I'm thinking of the other possibilities for the mayo/yogurt/chutney sauce--a marinade for salmon, perhaps.
