    Cup of Yum

  7. Drizzle in the milk until your desired consistency.
  8. Store in the fridge until ready to use.

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!
