Christmas dinner for 35
Paula
12/07/15 		I am preparing a Christmas dinner for our church for about 35 people. I plan on fixing ham, chicken or turkey, green beans and sweet potatoes. Can you suggest a good salad to go with this besides just a lettuce salad. Also do I need another side?

I suggest either a marinated cooked veg salad, such as this beautiful squash and beet salad

or consider a fruit salad such as true ambrosia, or a classic frozen fruit salad, on this website:
