Enough with the sentiment and nostalgia. The 1970's are over. My attempt at preparing the retro Sweet Potato Salad ended as one might expect. I did substitute some ingredients, walnuts for pecans, and nothing for celery, as the celery in the fridge had seen better days. I will say the blend of cubed sweet potatoes with Mandarin oranges was quite tasty, as were the walnuts and potentially the celery. If I were ever to make this dish again, I would omit the mayonnaise. I like mayo, but it made this recipe too soupy. I guess mayo was an essential back then in pretty much everything. All in all, this was probably a more nutritious lunch than a sleeve of Chocolate Peanut Butter Oreos. On a scale of 1-5, this dish rated 2; Choc/ PB Oreos rated 5.
