Actually, the signature dish at the Country Dove in Elk City, Okla., isn’t an entree, but dessert.
It’s the French silk pie that’s the tea room and gift shop’s claim to fame, and it is dee-lish. It’s light — in both texture and taste. The richness doesn’t overwhelm you. The crust also contains nuts — chopped pecans, I think.
But, as we found out during a trip on Route 66 last week, the Country Dove is pretty good with other food, too. This grilled-cheese sandwich on wheat bread with a cup of potato soup turned out to be a perfect lunch. On the right on the plate is a roll and a square of jello. The Country Dove also offers several salads.
Gifts take up two floors of the Country Dove, ranging from arts and crafts to religious books to antiques.

I’m looking for the Country Dove Jello Salad receipe. It’s lemon jello, pears & cream cheese blended together. Country Dove is in Elk City, OK. I had the recipe but have misplaced it.
Does anyone know the alvacado chicken salad recipe?
