Notes
OH MY!!!! This salad is really unbelievable.  When I first read the ingredients I was definitely going to pass on it.  However, I was urged to try it, and man oh man - thankfully I did!  Owen and I could not get enough of this salad.  The evening we served it with dinner I had to dash off to class.  I thought of it all class, and when I got home there was a little left...and yes, I finished it!  You have got to try this!
