Notes from Liz

This salad is good to make anytime, but I usually make it in winter when other salad ingredients are not  available.  This is also good for a picnic or outdoor event because it does not spoil easily.  I usually serve it with pork tenderloin or pork shops but it is also very good with hamburgers and hot dogs or sausages.
