Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F / 190-200°C).
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into 1/2-inch thick rounds or wedges. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato pieces with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Grill the sweet potato slices for 4-6 minutes per side, or until tender and slightly charred. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, dice them into bite-sized pieces.
While the sweet potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing. In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe avocado, lime juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and optional cumin. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add a tablespoon or two of water if the dressing is too thick.
In a large serving bowl, combine the diced grilled sweet potatoes, finely diced red onion, and chopped fresh cilantro.
Pour the avocado-lime dressing over the sweet potato mixture and gently toss to combine. Ensure all ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
Serve immediately, or chill for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld. Enjoy your delicious grilled sweet potato salad!
