Source of recipe: Jac and I were feeling salad-ish (?) today, so we scavenged the kitchen in search of inspirational food items. I put the sweet potatoes in right away, so it was a warm salad. I would highly suggest doing this because it makes the blueberry dressing more pungent. Nobody likes an ice cold salad any way! The blueberry dressing tastes so smooth and is lightly sweet, it goes great with the peppery arugula greens.
