A Southern Salad Recipe

A few days before Christmas we gathered with our neighbors for our Annual Neighborhood Christmas Dinner Party.  We live in the country, but we can occasionally see a light shining through the woods from neighbors homes.  It is a special treat when we all get together.

All the 'girls' are such good cooks and each one brought a dish to share for the Dinner.  As always, the Menu for this occasion was delicious.  We had Salad,  Beef Tenderloin Roast,  Wild Rice with Mushrooms, Broccoli Casserole,  Green Beans, Dinner Rolls and Dessert.

I can't believe I actually forgot to take my camera to take photos of this fun event.

Our closest neighbor through the woods had her cell phone and took photos of a couple of the menu items which I will share here and in later posts.
