I enjoyed this salad at a well-known restaurant and when they wouldn't divulge the recipe, I created my own. Although a bit time consuming, everything can be prepared at least a day ahead, covered and refrigerated. I took this salad to the 2011 AR Buckeye Bash and am posting for those who requested the recipe. This salad may be served cold or at room temperature.

Crema di Limoncello (Cream of Limoncello)
What is crema di limoncello? Cream of limoncello is the perfect answer to the question "what do you do when life gives you lemons?" You make limoncello! And this creamy, lemony version is the perfect end to a delicious meal. I've always brought some back from our trips to Italy, but now I make my own at home.
Grilled Fish Steaks
Simple grilled fish fillets full of flavor thanks to an easy marinade made with fresh lemon juice and herbs. My husband is not much of a fish lover but when I cook these halibut fillets on the grill he always enjoys it!
Cajun Chicken Lasagna
This Cajun chicken lasagna has just the right amount of zing to it. The key to this is the andouille sausage ... probably not good for anyone counting calories! The meat mixture would be good served over fettuccine noodles, if you would like to save time.
