I take my summertime dinner party planning very seriously. The menu needs to be crafted to perfection. All the flavors need to work together to ensure that the end result is not only gorgeous but delicious. And you can bet that these Grilled Sweetpotato Wedges with a Cilantro Vinaigrette Dipping Sauce are a natural fit for countless summer dinners!

Have you ever grilled sweetpotatoes before? If you haven’t… life is about to change. And if you have…. high fives for being awesome. This week I’m teaming up with my friends over at California Sweetpotatoes to bring you these Grilled Sweetpotato Wedges. Loaded with tons of vitamins, fiber and calcium these are not only great for you… but absolutely delish!

The grill leaves them with a bit of a smoky finish and those uber amazing grill marks that make me so happy! I’ve been serving these up when my menu has a little Southwestern flare because of the cilantro vinaigrette. If you’re feeling a tad more Mediterranean, you can swap it out for a basil vinaigrette and go for that flavor profile too.

Alrighty, so I made these and they were spectacular! Kind of reminded me of my current obsession at Huckleberry, the carrot and avocado salad. I am thrilled to have found your blog via . . . . you know going down the rabbit hole via Mattbites . . . . love your blog. And your videos with Aida are soooo clever, and funny. Bravo! I am currently cooking my way thru Huckleberry cookbook and after 4 days and 4 recipes, my husband said “it’s official, I am becoming overweight.” Oh well.
