"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Personal Notes:
This is great served either warm or chilled. Jill Emerson and I used to get this salad at Bonzetti's on our lunch hour from working at Libke, Jones & Mitchell. She's the one who got this recipe from the restaurant.
