I had this wonderful salad at a Women of the Word gathering at Stratford Lutheran Church in Stratford Iowa. The recipe is from Ellen Ahrens. Ellen cut her veggies into VERY small pieces when she made this. I told people she put a lot of love in that salad for the gathering. Thank you Ellen for sharing this recipe.
