I (a very inexperienced cook) made this salad for dinner tonight, and my family and I really enjoyed it- I'd definitely make it again.
Next time I make it though I'll either fry the bacon or make the entire dressing in advance to save myself some work when I'm preparing the sweet potatoes/onions.
If you don't like onions very much, you might want to only use one, but two is a good amount if you don't dislike them.12/26/07

Very simple and tasty.
Being vegetarian, I omitted the bacon in both the dressing & salad and added a handful of dried cranberries as a garnish. I am sure that a 1/4 C of seitan browned in soy sauce would be good in it, too.
Will sure to make again!11/15/07
