Sweet Potato, Bacon and Egg Salad

This brightly colored, unusual dish can be served for breakfast or as a main dish for lunch or dinner. Crispy bacon adds protein and ever-so-slightly grassy dill makes the flavor more complex. It can be eaten warm or chilled. Butternut squash can be substituted for the sweet potato, mashed avocado can be used instead of mayonnaise, and rosemary can be used instead of dill.
