In my recipe box, this is called “Southern Confetti Salad”. And it does look like confetti, doesn’t it? But, that doesn’t really tell us much about this salad. It is a great option for a summer picnic salad, as it’s both easy and can sit out for a bit. But, it’s just as good in the dead of winter, with two feet of snow on the ground.

There are always plenty of side dishes that will work for them, but I think vegetarians should be able to experience a filling and delicious main course. Just to be clear, non-vegetarians gobble this up, too! Yeah, I went for the Thanksgiving pun…get over it!
