Amish Autumn Salad - looks amazing! This is the actual salad served at Gloria's gathering...
Besides the delicious sandwiches, Rose had prepared a most unique gourmet salad layered with all sorts of veggies and even some fruits. Perhaps the most unique item on the table that really displayed Rose's creativity was a half watermelon, decoratively cut to make the sides look like waves of water. In the center, she had all kinds of bite-sized chunks of fresh fruit with "dolphins" (bananas) splashing "out of the water" (fruit). The dolphins each had a "ball" (grape) in their mouth. It really looked just about too cute to eat. Julia and Austin were totally impressed with it and were especially intrigued when it was time to eat the "dolphins" and other fruit. Sister-in-law, Regina had prepared one of our summertime favorites, pepper poppers. This time she used mild peppers, sliced them in half and stuffed them with cream cheese and bacon bits. They were then placed in a pan and heated on top of the fire.
