This salad is adapted from the Best of Bridge series, cookbooks that revolutionized cooking with their first book in 1976. Often, we had dinner parties, and everyone made a “new” recipe from one of the books.
Place 4 salad plates in the freezer for at least an hour (it really does make a difference).
