Notes

NOTES:
 
All of the items should be at Trader Joe's but if for some reason you can't locate them, here are some good substitutions from a regular grocery store:
    • Starting off with our main star, the Murasaki sweet potato- a good substitute is the white sweet potato. They have similiar taste and texture.
    • Broccoli slaw- you can use any broccoli slaw that consists of broccoli and shredded carrots. Another option is to buy a bag of shedded carrots and shred your own raw broccoli.
    • Dried cranberries- if you do not want to use dry fruit, a delicious substitute is satsumas. 2 or 3 is good and they should be sweet enough.
    • Vegan dill dressing- this item is a Trader Joe's exclusive. It is located in the refrigerated section. For a substitute, you want to use another fresh vegan dressing. If you need to get bottled, Primal Kitchen makes a vegan ranch. You can use that and add some fresh dill.
    • Everything but the bagel seasoning- this is another Trader Joe's item however I have seen other brands make their own version. This seasoning is not needed (and is totally optional) in order to make this salad. I have made this a ton of times without it. It happens to enhance the flavor though.
Since the potatoes are cut small, they will roast much faster in the oven. 
Peeling the potatoes is optional. You can save yourself some work and leave the skin on. 
To store this salad, use an airtight container and place in the fridge for 2-3 days. For better results, try to store salad dry (without putting the dressing on) so that the slaw and potatoes do not get soggy.
