African Sweet Potato Salad and Antipasto Garlic Bread
This was an interesting dinner. It was all super easy to make. The potato salad took the longest. It all turned out perfect, though the potato salad was very unique. It has a very acquired flavor. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't our favorite. My husband and I weren't very keen on finishing it.
