The first Monday in September is Labor Day.

Many people have the day off to celebrate the holiday. We can say goodbye to summer and welcome fall with a picnic or barbecue party. Family and friends gather to have fun and enjoy many activities such as throwing a football or practicing for the football season for the men and boys. We ladies like to chat and share recipes, so here is a great salad recipe for picnics, lunch, and a stand-alone for a light dinner.

Enjoy,
