Notes: My Mom, Nanny, made this salad every year for Passover. I don’t know why she reserved it for that specific time only, as it is very delicious, easy to prepare and could and should be enjoyed all year long. Maybe because it’s easy to prepare and can be made a day in advance is the reason Nanny made it for Passover, as she had so much preparation to do, food to shop for and cook for the holiday. Nanny changed her dishes, pots and pans, flatware, etc. and totally cleaned her kitchen and got rid of every scrap of chametz before Passover officially began. Grandma Jennie and Tanta cooked the Seder meal with Nanny. It was so much fun to see the three ladies working together in Nanny’s small kitchen. About 6 weeks before the holiday Grandma Jennie made her own sweet red wine for the Seder table. The wine grapes were grown on arbors behind our garage and were harvested by Uncle Marvin! The grapes were thoroughly washed in our bathtub, and hand squeezed and strained by Grandma Jenny. The appropriate ingredients were added and the wine was put in a big white cask to ferment. None of us has carried on the wine making tradition to my knowledge, but we do celebrate the holiday with gusto.
