DAD'S FAVORITE SALAD



Dad's Favorite Salad image

My father always liked this salad, so I shared this recipe with my mom. When she first made it for Dad, he enjoyed it so much he told here to be sure to share the recipe with me. I laughed because he didn't know that I had given the recipe to Mom in the first place. I knew he'd like it.-Judy Long, Limestone, Tennessee
