We are out of town for work this week but wanted to post some recipes for Thanksgiving dinner. Here’s a nice salad for a first course. This recipe came from a church potluck dinner. The colors of the ingredients make it a good salad for a holiday dinner. The dressing resembles a cross between a sweet and sour and white French dressing. I highly recommend it. To save calories, serve the dressing on the side and dress the salad sparingly.
