I’ve been searching the web for a side dish to bring to a backyard picnic and so many are hot. Noooo, I need to transport this from home and serve, so a cold dish is a must. Also, I’m trying to avoid onions and garlic. No easy task! There are some recipes where the garlic or onion (not “and”) is a small amount so I may be able to just leave it out.
But the picnic side dishes on this site look fabulous. Looking forward to making some.
Thank you Nancy for taking the time to check us out. Please feel free to leave us some feedback in the comments about what you
