Festive Fall Salad

**I took this salad to our family Thanksgiving this year and therefore quadrupled the recipe.  As written it's only enough for 2-4 people--at least the way our family eats salad!!  In our family, salad IS the main dish!!!

This tasty and statisfying salad is great for potlucks and fall gatherings.
