The Caribbean-Turkey Cobb salad is a refreshing, light salad that is a total escape from the heavy Thanksgiving foods. This recipe makes 1 salad so you can adjust to make the number you want by how much turkey is leftover.
Traditions are defined as the transmission of customs or beliefs from generation to generation. I was thinking of my Thanksgiving traditions and asked a few of my friends to tell me about theirs.
When I was growing up I remember that my mother cooked and baked for days preparing foods for Thanksgiving. I believe that I can still feel the warmth in our home and experience the wonderful smells coming from the kitchen. Everyone came to our house to eat including grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and friends. My father and the men in our family always liked to deer hunt so they were out in the morning doing that. After dinner we drew names for our Christmas gift exchange.
When I was in high school we moved to the country and for several years the same tradition continued. My mother decided to try hunting and enjoyed it so she started going out herself. Over the years as my brother, sister and I grew up and had our own families we were not always able to be together.

She came to my house one evening and made the tart and I took pictures. This was an easy recipe to do and I am so proud of the great job she did.
