uncle marshall’s ham salad
My uncle Marshall was a truck driver. He drove a big blue Peterbilt truck and kept his cigarettes rolled up in his shirtsleeve. I thought he was the coolest guy on the planet. I never dreamed he could cook! He’s gone now, but his granddaughter, Christy, used to watch him make this salad, and she shared his recipe with me. When I make the salad, I still picture him outside working on his truck. Real men cook!
