If you're a fan of Stuart McLean's Vinyl Café program on CBC Radio, you may be familiar with this salad that he first tasted during a visit to Sioux Lookout in Ontario. When he recounted it on the program, he was overwhelmed with requests for the recipe, so he shared it with us. We cut back the Worcestershire considerably from the original recipe. Try it our way, then add more, if you like.
