With the pandemic still raging throughout the USA we are remaining vigilant and not having large gatherings this holiday season. Instead we have been having small dinner parties where we are able to remain socially distanced with our friends and family who have been following the CDC guidelines.
This salad is perfect for serving with the Feast of the Seven Fishes or perhaps an ooey, gooey tray of Lasagna. It's a nice change from your traditional tossed salad and is beautiful to behold.
Yield: 4 servings
