Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but this salad is so delightful! Since we've no place to go (except for the table), Let It Snow Salad! The fluffy, caramel-like sweetness of the sweet potatoes serves as a fantastic base for a snowfall of flavors, from the crunchy pepitas, to the tart cranberries, to the crumbly, creamy cheese. Arugula adds a little garden freshness and the tangy honey mustard dressing bundles up for the season with a beautiful flavor! Let's just stay in and eat Let It Snow Salad instead of going outside!
