Nan’s famous Granny Salad is definitely a favorite in my house and often requested when I go to BBQ’s and offer to bring a salad. It is one of those things that she never wrote down the recipe for but it was made for any occasion and it was expected at most dinners at Nan’s. I think this recipe came from Nan’s Granny, and that’s how it got it’s name. I do remember her telling me once that she used to make it every Sunday when they went to Nanna Bell’s for lunch. All I know for sure is that everybody loves it, and, as I have discovered, we all make the dressing slightly different. So I will give you the basic formula and you can change it to suit your taste. Thanks to Aunty Cheryl, Mum, Jenn and Wendy for sharing their recipe’s with me.
