This salad graced my Thanksgiving table and really did shine! Most times people are so anxious to eat all the goodies that the salad is "left in the cold". Let me tell you that was not the case here. I had nine adults and three children at the table. I made enough for fifteen people. Well, some way into the dinner my DIL asked if there was any more salad in the fridge. It was all gone!! Now THAT tells you all you need to know about this tasty dish.
