Very impressive salad--both in taste and appearance! My husband and I really enjoyed this a lot! I did omit the dill, and replaced the goat cheese with feta cheese (because I didn't have any dill or goat cheese), but the end result was still wonderful. Thanks CountryLady for a topnotch recipe!!! -

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
