My Richard is a big fan of coleslaw. We have been to countless restaurants and cookouts in the past where we have tried all kinds of slaw. We like most of them, but they were not that memorable. My only real experience with coleslaw was as a kid. On our trips back from Mexico, my Dad would…

You won't find any foods more colorful on the Mexican table than Christmas Eve Salad. At midnight (or earlier nowadays), the family gathers for la cena de nochebuena, or "good night" dinner. All the best dishes are presented for the festivities, including the traditional Ensalada de Nochebuena. Like a decorated tree, it comes to the table with brilliant reds accented by green and white.
