Personal Notes:
This salad was a family favorite for lunches at the cabin. We spent one week during the summer at a resort with extended family, nieces, nephews. Aunts and Uncles and of course my parents. To my children this was always the best week of the whole summer. I hope when you make this salad for your family you will find that same love we had for food and family.

You can of course add any other vegetables you like I have added, asparagus blanched, carrot strings, anchovies, zucchini, yellow squash
