This hearty vegetarian salad is my spin on the white sweet potato salad from ultra popular Souvla Restaurant of San Francisco. It's made with a blend of kale, romaine, olives, walnuts, and warm roasted potatoes. The combination of walnuts and olives lends a savory flavor that contrasts so well against tender sweet potatoes. Add a hefty drizzle of ranch dressing over the whole thing, and you have a knockout meal.
