A hearty Low Country stew adapts itself to a southern summer salad. I got this from my Low Country mother-in-law, who tweaked an idea from her mother's hoppin' john soup one year when it was just too hot.

I was looking for a Hoppin John recipe for New Year's Day and chose this salad since it was about 80 degrees in Phoenix today and this sounded much better than hot soup! I used cubed ham instead of the crabmeat but otherwise followed the rest of the recipe. It was excellent! For summer I'll definitely try the crab but we loved it with the ham. Read More

Being down in Florida salad is a year 'round thing so I make this every single New Years Day! The only thing I do differently is to chop the tomatoes and serve the salad over greens. Read More
