Preheat oven to 400°F

Rinse and dry the sweet potatoes. Wrap each with foil and bake until tender when pierced with a knife, about 40 to 60 minutes. Set aside to cool.

When cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-size pieces and transfer to a large bowl. Add green onions and celery. Set aside.

Combine the remaining ingredients in a large measuring cup. Whisk well.

Pour over the potato mixture and stir gently to coat, but avoid breaking up the potatoes.

If you like cilantro (I love it), add in a generous amount of leaves for color, aroma and flavor.
