Alison’s handwritten recipe.

Alison’s handwritten ingredient list from 1997!

Alison, our Cook, took this recipe to Oregon with them from the Pendle Hill’s kitchen over twenty years ago! It’s a refreshing side for the spring and summer months especially, and the deceptively simple ingredients combine to make a delightfully flavorful salad that insists on complementing many a meal.
