Spanish Filling (Bologna Salad?)

Growing up in my house we had staples for every "Party" or Celebration. My mom made some, My Grandmother made some and My Aunts (except for one) brought the rest. One of those Party Staples was My Mom;s "Spanish Filling". When I got married, I learned My Mother In-Law had her own version. Don't even remind me of the clash at my son's Baby Shower....Have you had those? My Mom wants to bring her's My Mother in Law wants to bring hers...It was a fiasco. I decided to come up with my own version. Needless to say neither was appeased, but neither could say anything, otherwise be labelled (picky).
My version is a combination of both styles. My husband loved it and that's all that mattered for me.

  2. Awesomely delicious salad! Thankfully, I never really had the food conflicts, my mother in law didn't cook too often. Bet my Dad would love this Lauire. I bookmarked to prepare on our next salad night.

  4. @DZoli:Not dumb at all. "Meat Bologna" is hard to get here in SFL. We have to get Boars Head. "Meat" Bologna means a combination Bologna. It's a combination of beef and pork. You have to ask for it at the deli, ask for a 2 lb chunk. When they ask Beef Bologna...say no..When they ask Turkey bologna say no...just "regular bologna". You should be ok. :) Hope this helps.
