As a transplant from the OC to the Carolinas I can tell you “salad” is a loose term here as is “vegetable”- example- mac and cheese can be found on the list of vegetable sides at your mamaw’s favorite meat & three restaurant . I have slowly embraced the semi-redneck dishes seen at Bible study potlucks and baby showers- however I give them my California spin by using organic cream of mushroom soup, “healthy” cool whip (Tru Whip) and gluten free box cake mix. I feel vindicated by Foodie Ben’s Midwest cookbook purchase! If anyone has a good recipe involving organic crescent roll dough- I’m all ears!

Frantically googling “what is a snickers salad” after reading this post took me on a STRANGE journey. Glorified rice?! Watergate salad?! I’m scared.

I can’t wait to hear about the snickers salad. Reminds me of the time Paula seen made a cracker salad with saltines, mayonnaise, and tomatoes. Which had me pondering, what are the parameters of a salad?
