One of Shalon’s neighbors, Nora Cami, made an oil and vinegar dressing for salad and Shalon added to it and her own salad ingredients to create this Greek salad.

Busy, busy, busy. Even at 3, Shalon was in the kitchen on her way to becoming the great chef she is today. This picture was taken in the house on Doe Run Road in Louisville, Kentucky in 1962.
