Our cousins came to visit this past weekend. Well really Andrea is the  accidental cowboy’s second cousin. But let’s not split hairs. I now consider Andrea and her husband both my cousins. Andrea is an extraordinary baker and cook.  It was such a delight to cook with her while they were here.

We, well, mainly she made this amazing salad. Why so amazing? It is so good it could possibly replace Pringles. A little salty, tangy and crunchy. Just like Pringles but healthy! Just sausage, vegetables and this really yummy dressing. I call it Andrea’s Confetti Salad because it is full of all these bits of color.

This recipe makes a HUGE salad. Enough for a crowd. Serve it at room temperature or cold. Because of the vinegar, it will keep wonderfully in the fridge for days.
