I absolutely love this kind of salad you will to if you love the ingredients that are in it. If you like more of one certain ingredient then use more of it. Use only the best ingredients you can find because if you don't it will be a bland nothing. I assure you if you do it will become a favorite of yours too!
It is now October in South Carolina and we are finding some of the best farm grown vegetables in our area. Just today Chuck and Carey went to Summerton to Flower's Farm and brought back some of the most beautiful fresh produce. I have crisp farm grown green beans and fresh tomatoes I will be canning. This on top of the flooding we have had and they suffered much of it their farm was covered and yet they can still produce such produce. They brought back squash, collards, turnips, cucumbers, peppers, I could go on and on but must stop.
Here is a simple recipe that has been around for many many years. It is such a tradition in the South that I just figured everyone had heard of it but maybe not.. .....recipe now...
