Zest one orange to get about 1 tablespoon of zest.

Juice the orange to get 1/3 cup of orange juice, straining out the pulp and seeds if desired.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Miracle Whip, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1/8 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Add the chopped celery and diced dried apricots to the dressing and mix well.

Once the sweet potatoes are cooled, add them to the dressing and mix gently.

Just before serving, fold in 1/2 cup of pecan pieces and 1/2 cup of drained pineapple tidbits.
