This recipe came from Mom's (Ada Ruth) oldest sister, Valeria Blake. In the spring of 1974 I took Mon and Dad back to Missouri to visit friends and family. We stayed at Uncle Tony and Aunt' Sis's cabin on the Mermac River. Aunt Sis decided to have a mini pot luck gathering and she made this salad. It was the first time I had tasted a salad like this and immediately fell in love with it. You can make all kinds of substitutions for the vegetables, adding and subtracting what you like best.
