I watched your video about the creamy garlic salad today. I can’t wait to make it for my husband! We LOVE your cookbook! Even my picky 15 year old son loves most of the recipes. Thank you for all you do!
So glad you like it Tammy. We had a bunch of picky eaters in our family too so that is why we tried to have things that even picky eaters like. : )
I will be making this one this week! Thanks, Jill
Jill, I just made this Garlic Salad and it is so good!! I think I might have made too much though. Can I freeze some? I was thinking no due to the mayo. Thanks so much! I’m loving this book. Cat Lover
No you can’t freeze this salad I am afraid. It is one of those dishes you need to eat right away or the very next day. Sorry.
No cabbage?
We just said it was coleslaw like – meaning in texture and type of salad.
hahaha ~ I was thinking the same thing :) Going to try this recipe soon.
