5 lbs okinawan sweet potatoes, skin on, whole (purple flesh, white skin)
2 medium red bell peppers
2 medium yellow bell peppers
2 medium orange bell peppers
2 medium green bell peppers
1 large red onion
dressing
1 cup salad oil
2 cups honey
4 cups vinegar (what ever kind you enjoy)
2 tablespoons sea salt (or to taste)
2 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
fresh ground pepper
1 bay leaf
2 garlic cloves, minced

1
Scrub the sweet potatoes, and steam them whole, with skins on. When you can pierce it with a fork, it is done. Allow the potatoes to cool, refrigerate for an hour.
2
In the meantime, Combine all the dressing ingredients and chill.
3
Julienne the bell peppers, and toss together, chill.
4
Julienne the red onion, set aside to chill.
5
Cut the chilled potatoes into cubes. (You may remove the skin if you wish, but the skin has a lot of fiber, and adds to the color of the dish).
6
In a large bowl (I use a clear glass bowl to help show-off the salad), Place a layer of cubed potato on the bottom. Top with a layer of the bell pepper medley, and red onion.
7
Repeat layers, ending with the bell pepper medley and red onion.
8
If you'd like, you could strain the dressing so that no pepper or garlic bits are in the salad. Pour the dressing over the salad just before serving.
