Who says that sweet potatoes aren't for grilling? Not, me! Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Balsamic Dressing is a delicious summer side and is easy to prepare. Just slice up the potatoes, grill, and serve with the delicious dressing. This dish is a deconstructed sweet potato salad, and I love it. It's the perfect side to ribs, chicken, or fish and is light enough for the hot days of summer. Oh, did I mention the entire recipe only takes about 10 minutes to prepare?
