CHRISTIANA CAMPBELL'S TAVERN SALMAGUNDI
Salmagundi was the chef's salad of 18th century England. In present day England and in Colonial Williamsburg, the name has been revived. My mother enjoyed serving this as a main course for dinner. We always liked it!

SALMAGUNDI BAKE
I have no idea what the word "Salmagundi" is or means. My mom made this from a Better Homes and Garden cookbook. I make it now with brown rice and a little more spice and it's on the family comfort food list. Easy to put together and if I'm really lazy...I skip chopping the onions and green pepper and use frozen ones!
