Roasted Sweet Potato Salad

Today we went to Ann's for Dominos and dinner with Patsy and Patti.
I brought the salad which I found in Southern Living, January 2010 this morning and we had all the ingredients at home.
It turned out really well, but I forgot to take a picture of it. I'll have to add it the next time I make it.
