Have a cold salad party!. Everyone should bring their favorite salad!. Whether a green salad, pasta salad, jello salad, fruit salad, etc!. just take what you get and have fun!.

You should provide the drinks (lemonade, iced tea, cokes) and plenty of crackers/bread to go with the salads!. Maybe have something dessert-y ready in case not too many sweet things show up!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
