mandarin salad
(1 RATING)
This recipe has been served at every party and/or holiday meal at our house for probably 40 years or more. LOL. My mother found the recipe in a magazine. The ingredients can be adjusted depending on how much someone takes as his/her helping. I can eat a half of bowl in one sitting. LOL.
