Notes
This was my mother-in-law's recipe, and she made it for every family gathering, as do I. Since it isn't overly-sweet, it is good as a salad with a regular meal, especially a holiday meal.
I have also made it with Lime Jell-O - my favorite. Once I made it with Cherry Jell-O and added chopped maraschino cherries. That was too sweet for a regular meal, so I used it as dessert.
This has a taste like no other salad that I have ever tasted, and my family loves it!
