Raw Shredded Sweet Potato Pineapple Salad

I adapted this recipe to raw from a classic southern sweet potato salad recipe. It is sweet, a little dessert like and very yummy... a great special occasion salad. * Note: 2 days later - soooo good! The sweet potato has taken on the sweetness of the honey and pineapple. Let this salad sit overnight if you can before eating to let the flavours marry.
