BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Mexican Food Christmas in Mexico - Christmas Eve Salad

Christmas Eve in Mexico is an occasion for a family dinner, served before everybody goes off to Midnight Mass, known as �Misa de Gallo�, cockerel�s mass. The meal starts off with a special Christmas Eve salad, Ensalada de Noche Buena, which is a rather peculiar concoction.
