For me salads are for any time of year and I prepare salads that are
an entire meal... could be upwards of 30-40 different ingredients; a
dozen different veggies, with marinated beans, potato salad, pasta
salad, various luncheon meats, an assortment of cheeses, hard cooked
eggs, crutons, nuts, seeds, and twigs... even pickled beets. I don't
think I've ever eaten a hot casserole with a cold salad... closest
would be baked franks n' beans with sides of coleslaw or kraut and
pickles.
