Another From My Past

I have shared with you countless recipes from one of my kitchen inspirations, my "Grammy". I can't even begin to list all of the dishes I've made because she made them first, or how many yummy things that to this day at the age of 31 I think only she can still make the best! This salad is something I remember her always having during meals in the summer months. It was one of those things I didn't even question how or why b/c it just seemed to always be in the fridge. Now I'm sure she didn't have an endless supply of it prepared each morning waiting for the taking, but to me it appeared that way. Of all the salads she has made in my lifetime, this is still one of my, and my dad's, favorites. Yes it tends to be something I make more in the summer, but I will fully admit we've had it for Christmas dinner before too! If you are planning a Mother's Day luncheon this weekend (Yes, it is only 2 days away!) here is a perfect side dish to add to your menu. Now, there is mayo in it, so if you're celebrating outside, please be aware of that and careful. I don't need any moms sick on my account!  Thanks Grammy, for giving me yummy food to eat for all these years and now share with my family, but more importantly so many happy memories of eating it with you!
