directions

- I love to add in:.
- Crusty Seasoned Croutons or Yesterday's leftover Crostini.
- 1 C Black Olives.
- 1/2 C olden Raisins.
- I don't often add tomatoes, as I think they tend to get lost in this salad. But feel free to add them if you need to.
- I have made this in the Summer as a light meal, and I've made it along side of Thanksgiving Dinner. It's quite versitale, and everyone loves it!

I grew up in New Jersey with an Italian mother, and Ukranian father. Needless to say I developed a love for a wide variety of foods! I love the Polish Ukranian influence my paternal side brought forth, as well as the traditional Italian cuisine from my mother's side of the family. For me, I have a passion for chocolate and desserts! I always use real butter, rich cream, sugar, and real vanilla, but I understand why we substitute them, and believe all of my recipes fare well with the substitutions, if you choose to do so. I only use salt in my potatoes, so don't expect to see too much of it in any of my recipes!Every recipe I publish has been time tested, and tasted, and raved about! So I guarantee, you'll be happy with every one you try! Thanks for visiting! I hope you come back again!
