1 15-oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup sliced cherry or grape tomatoes
1 cup shelled edamame
1 medium avocado sliced
large cabbage/iceberg or boston lettuce (I’m not a huge fan of cabbage)
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
lime wedges (optional)
Directions
~ Make Dressing; set aside *if you remember make it the night before
Yogurt-Lime Dressing
In small bowl combine 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt, 2 TBS lime juice, 1 TBS soy sauce, 1 TBS chili powder, 1 clove minced garlic, 2 TBS chopped cilantro, 1TBS chopped chives.  Salt & Pepper to Taste. Whisk in 1/4 cup olive oil until well combined.
~ In a zip lock bag combine diced potatoes, soy sauce, lime juice, chili powder, oregano, and olive oil; add diced sweet potatoes and toss to coat. Roast at 425° for 30-40 minutes on a foiled cookie sheet or until done.

Drizzle with the dressing and wrap it all up!
You can add grilled chicken if you want to it be heartier.
