What Has Holland Ever Done to You, Ms. Berry?

I ask because Ms. Berry, author of 300 Sensational Salads, has named this next concoction Holland Salad. Why? No clue, unless residents of the Netherlands have a previously unnoticed fondness for dicing, mincing and shredding sour foods. How would you like it if we renamed it Lucinda Salad, huh? Yes, that's right, I went there, Ms. Lucinda Berry.

HOLLAND SALAD
