The "Colombia" Salad
This recipe is based on the Colombia Restaurant's 1905 salad. My MIL's sister turned us on to the recipe. I had eaten the salad before and really liked it, but it was early in the "learning to cook" stage, so I had no idea of what went into it even though it is made table side. It is quick, easy and totally tasty. A very substantial salad
