Tried this recipe for the first time last night. Got it out of a Better Homes and gardens special intrest "Potluck" Magazine I got for mother day from Lindsey. It is very good. the salad is nice and light. Meat turned out nice and tender. I did it on the grill. I think I will post the salad alone too. Hope you like it!
