I always want to go home every thanksgiving because of this luscious salad! Well, of course, because of my family as well! Anyway, you can also serve this pretty much any time of the year. This is best served when you have a chicken or turkey dish. Oh, man, you are so in for a treat! Feel free to add more ingredients if you prefer. Have a great day, friends. Enjoy!
