GRANDMA'S SUNSHINE SALAD
I don't know where Grandma got this recipe. It, and many like it, were popular back in the 1950's and 60's. It may have originated with the Jello Company. Every church supper and family gathering had a similar dish and everyone had their variations. This was one of my Grandma's favorites.
