Oh my, MH and I enjoyed the same salad at the Court of Two Sisters in 1993. I have been looking for it also. Loved it! No other words for it except Love!

Loved this salad! I substituted some Vidalia onion for the green onions and added more salt and pepper. I made the mistake of peeling the sweet potatoes before baking (which took twice as long as they were large) and only had to peel off the dried up outer layer--don't peel the sweet potatoes! The dressing is just perfect. Thanks, acerast.
