What a way to get in your fruits and vegetables! Grandma knew best how to get us to eat our fruits and veggies! This is an unusual and very tasty salad! When my dear grandmother made this for our big family... there was never any leftovers! It is a pretty colorful salad that you can be proud to serve... and you can expect many compliments and people asking for the recipe! *** If you are making this for a small family, just cut the recipe down...
