Songs About Salad

I've been known to post my share of eclectic collections of songs, but this Songs About Salad set might just be the strangest yet. I can only work with what songs are available, so it is what it is. But still...this is a decidedly offbeat amalgamation of styles, sounds, and sensations. Enjoy?  ~  JH
