FESTIVE TOMATO WEDGES

Since I have a large vegetable and herb garden, many of the ingredients in this recipe are truly "homegrown". I found this simple recipe in a magazine years ago and it quickly became a favorite at family picnics. I have five married children and seven grandchildren, and they all love to come home for some of "Mom's cooking". -Wilma Purcell, Alma, Illinois

FESTIVE HOLIDAY VEGETABLE SALAD

This is a fun, festive, colorful holiday, or special occasion, salad that is unique and has a beautiful presentation. Looks great on a buffet table or family dinner table; it is also perfect to take to a holiday potluck. It takes a little work to prepare, but is well worth it in the end (this recipe originally came from a magazine, but I can not recall which one).

CHRISTMAS VEGETABLE SALAD

My sister gave me this recipe at a family gathering one year, and I've been making her colorful, crisp salad for holiday get-togethers, dinner parties and potlucks ever since. This festive salad travels well and holds up beautifully on the buffet table, so it's ideal for making ahead. Serve it in a clear bowl so everyone can see the pretty color combination. -Mary Dean, Eau Claire, Wisconsin
