This colorful, delicious salad features seasonal produce.  It is the perfect starter or side for your Holiday Dinner Table.

Today is the final day of the Holiday Side Dish event......

Heather of Hezzi D's Books and Cooks is hosting this annual event in which we all get together to help our readers plan for their Holiday Dinners. 

This is our final Holiday Side Dish post for the year.  The salad I am sharing would be a perfect start for your Holiday Dinner.  I served it up for a Mardi Gras gathering that I had because of the purple, green and gold colors that represent Justice, Faith, and Power that represent our King and Lord, Jesus Christ, celebrated as the Christian season of Lent begins.
