Italian Dressing

Author: Mary DiSomma

Growing up in my Italian family, we had salad at the end of the meal instead of the beginning. My mother would say, “You always need a little roughage!” We weren’t allowed to leave the table until we finished our salad. I’d say that was a good thing—I taught my children the same thing and everyone in my family loves a good salad, even today.
