Salads: Dress ‘em up and take ‘em out
Perfection Salad has been around since 1905. The reason for its longevity is that it’s delicious and addictive.
The Watergate Salad came into being during Nixon’s presidency for obvious reasons but it really is good and easy to whip up.
I’ve been making the blueberry congealed salad for more than 30 years and we enjoy it as much now as we did then.
The Millionaire Fruit Salad is another old favorite. It’s great to have an old standby like one of the four featured this week.
You can almost make them in your sleep and they never fail.
They also look pretty on the table, and appearance is 50 percent of everything. I believe everybody will like at least one of these. Enjoy.
Spring art class sign-ups open at county museum
