tappaw salad
(1 RATING)
My dad would make this all the time when my kids and I would go to visit. The girls loved it so much they would always ask me to make "Tappaw Salad", so the name stuck. This was a favorite of ours to eat on a hot Texas summer day. The flavors go very well together, and the juice from the mandrin oranges make the "dressing" for it.
