This salad was a bit too salty for my taste.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The blue cheese dressing is the perfect complement to the sweet potatoes.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. It's also a great side dish for grilled meats or fish.

This salad was a hit at my last party! The combination of flavors and textures was perfect, and it was easy to make ahead of time.
