Kathina Pinckert, training specialist II, Correctional Managed Care, shares an old family recipe for a festive salad.
“I’m sure there are similar or maybe same recipes out there somewhere, but this one was passed down to by my great aunt,” she says. “The kids even love it. We love to top it on turkey and/or dressing or enjoy as a side dish. Before serving, I like to mix it with a spoon; it's a very pretty dish.”
