i spent the summer before freshman year of high school living with my aunt and her family. she made this salad for me once and to this day i can't remember where she got the recipe. then growing up, i became the salad maker at home. it was my contribution to the meal. now that we have our own home, i think it's safe to say that i make this salad 90% of the time someone joins us for a meal. and i can't say that it ever gets boring. i actually posted this recipe a long while back before it got fancy with real photos. here it is again. and they call it...

YUM. My mother wanted a new salad to make for the fourth today, so I directed her to your blog and this is what she decided to make... welll... kind of. She didn't want to go to the store so she substituted the lettuce with bowtie pasta. SO good. thanks!
