"This salad has been a family favorite for as long as I can remember," Betty Tobias writes from Nashua, New Hampshire. "It's prettiest when it's served in a glass bowl, with orange and cucumber slices lining the sides. Often, I'll double the dressing recipe so I have some on hand for the next time I make it."

This is from the 'Taste of Homes - Light and Tasty' magazine. It looks so inviting, I'm going to be making it this week anyhow! It was submitted in the magazine by Betty Tobias. This is one FANTASTIC SALAD, IMHO, that not only looks so nutritious and healthy, and is, for that matter, but also, is one that I'm sure anyone would enjoy.
