Personal Notes:
A wonderful salad concoction to serve; makes any meal a special meal. John Henry would make a roux of the wet ingredients and fold in the iceburg last. It was magic to watch him make, and we tell John Henry stories every time Bob makes it. Bob has changed the recipe to his taste but the method is still Big John's Salad.
