  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced onion and celery with sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, fresh lime juice, and Old Bay seasoning. Mix gently.
  4. Stir in mayonnaise until smooth and well incorporated to create a creamy dressing.
  5. Fold in the cooled sweet potato cubes gently to avoid smashing them.
