Elegant Salad of Mixed Greens and Trim

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone, this is the salad I made for Thanksgiving. It truly is the best

green salad I've ever eaten and went immediately. I took a required cooking

class since I'm almost done with med. college. They had 5 categories and I

picked the vegetarian course, this was the class favorite and I'll pass on to

all of you. Mya
