I’ve never cooked a turkey in my life and have no desire to start now!  Not surprisingly, I am the one to bring the salad to Thanksgiving dinner!  Therefore, I’m on the quest for this year’s recipe!

This recipe has fall flavors written all over it with chunks of sweet potato, dried cranberries, roasted pumpkin seeds, citrus and ginger.  I really liked it however, Shaye preferred the Three Sisters Salad. For now, I will continue my search!
