When I was growing up, there was always this green salad on the food table at our family get togethers. I am not sure why but the color always scared me away. Or maybe it was the word pistachio, ha ha! Whichever it was, I am thoroughly disappointed that I did not try this yummy salad until I was an adult. Wow, I was really missing out all those years.

When you have summer bbq’s and family get togethers, do you normally take a min dish or a simple side dish? We tend to alternate. Sometimes a side dish, sometimes we take dessert, some times meat for grilling.
