I got this recipe around 2009 from a co-worker. I don't like raisins, but it sounded really good. So, decided to switch it up. I changed the raisins to craisins, the vinegar to lemon juice, cut the mayo with some sour cream and came up with this. It's always requested and one of my favorites. A really nice twist to an already great salad!
