My mother always made this salad when I was a kid. I have no idea where she got the recipe from, but it sure was tasty. It has been in our family for as long as I can remember, and many other members of my family also makes it too. Now when we make it, we make it in homor of mama. The recipe is in my cookbook, among the section...
