2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

In a saucepan, cook sweet potatoes for 8 to 10 minutes in boiling water just until tender. Do not overcook. Drain and toss with lemon juice; set aside.
Add the celery, green onions, pineapple chunks, and pecans.

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, orange rind, orange juice, honey, ginger, and salt.

Don't waste your time or ingredients.
My plain sweet potato salad is much better.
