A Really Good Salad

     Have you noticed?  We've been eating a lot of sweets lately at this house.  It's time for a green salad (and some bread with really good butter).

                                          Mrs. Marshall's Salad
                                 a recipe from Brook Lodge | Augusta, Michigan
