This is the best darn salad and it lasts forever in the refrigerator.It has just the right amount of sweet and tang to it. This recipe was given to me by my friend Ann Magyar of Michigan and was posted in my third cookbook "Kitchen Chatter" page 13,in 2010. It has been a longtime recipe of many of us..
