Personal Notes:
Unlike most of the friends I grew up with, the Gingrich family was from California and they were into healthy eating long before it was popular in the "meat and potatoes" Midwest. In 1985 I remember visiting them on their farm in Clyde and having this delicious salad for lunch. I asked for the recipe then and have made in many, many times since over the years.
