Tropical Sweet Potato Salad

A great choice instead of the traditional potato salad. The spices, pineapple and toasted pecans provide the perfect complement to the naturally sweet yams.

2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup chopped celery
1 bunch green onions, sliced
1 (20-ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained

1 teaspoon grated orange rind
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon honey
