This was my Great-Great Grandma Helena Ingleright's recipe. My Great Grandmother found this recipe in her mother's recipe box and made this for her family and my Grandmother as well, and now myself! it's such a refreshing salad. This is also a great church salad and funeral salad as well. I hope you give this a try, yes it has carrots but its amazing!!!! Enjoy!!
