This salad can be used as a room-temperature side dish or a salad accompanying a meal. Alternately, you can add cubed smoked turkey and serve as an appetizer. I love the earthy flavor of sweet potatoes that have been slow-baked, accompanied by spicy nuts. You can also substitute slivered almonds for part of the walnuts and use them to garnish any soup or salad!
