Most of you guys are probably facing long dark and cold winter months as we speak. But here in Dubai, after a loooooong summer, temperatures are finally dropping to some comfortable mid to upper 20C. Which means that the BBQ season has started. We haven’t had our  debut for this season, but I am sure it will be sometime very soon. While husband is always the grill master in charge ( in fact, I think I have never actually bbq-ed myself, ever in my life, not even turned a sausage on the grill). I normally do the starters, side dishes and salads and I am happy with it.<\/div>\n
Sometime during the hot summer I came across this sweet potato salad. What I love most about this salad is the combination of sweet potato, chili, honey and rosemary.  It really works well together. It was so nice, I had the whole salad myself (yes all 1 1\/2 pounds of sweet potato). It is definitely a dish that goes well with nicely marinated and grilled meats. I will make this one on our next BBQ night for the public. I am convinced it will become one of our BBQ classics.<\/div>\n
