For the first time in my 67 years, I asked for a recipe after being served this salad. There aren't words to describe how good it is!!!! I took 1 bite and said, "Oh my gosh!!!! I have to have this recipe!!!!! I went straight to the store and bought the ingredients! The other people at this meeting ALL asked for the recipe! This could easily be a dessert as well! Keep in mind, it needs to cool for 24 hours, and a metal bowl will help keep it cool.
