Holiday Salad
With its pretty presentation and tangy taste, it's easy to see why this delightful salad is always a hit with Pat Schmeling's family in Germantown, Wisconsin. “At holidays, I ask each of my family members for their favorite food,” Pat explains. “This salad is always requested by my daughter.”
