minus-squareDontRedditMyLemmy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up26·1 year agoMy joke about being from Iowa is that you could have a salad potluck without ever seeing a piece of lettuce! My family’s wildest is Snicker Salad, Tapioca Salad (marshmallows and mandarin oranges), and Cranberry Salad.
