Mexicali Salad image

This recipe came from my mom. It was probably a Betty Crocker or Better Homes & Gardens original. Unfortunately, I don't know the origin. I prepared this salad for company the other day and it was well received. I thought, "Why am I not sharing it!" The salad dressing can be made a day in advance.
