This salad has been a regular at our church potluck dinners and is always enjoyed by many. I asked for the recipe early on and have made it many times in the past 15 years.

Recipe Tips

Although not necessary, chilling the salad for an hour can help combine the flavors.

A smaller quantity of each ingredient can be made in a smaller dish for a smaller salad.
