Notes
If you don’t have buttermilk, regular milk will work as well.
This dressing can be made up to a day in advance but it may thicken in the fridge-- if it does, slowly whisk in milk until it is your desired consistency.
I like to add the sweet potatoes to the salad while they are still slightly warm-- it helps soften the lettuce, but that is totally up to you!
