My Mom got this recipe from someone in her mini-church when we lived in Texas. We have enjoyed it in our family ever since. It can be made in lots of different variations. You can use red onion sliced into rings, black olives, sliced strawberries, walnuts, blueberries, or "praline" almonds. It's so good in the summer time. Add cooked chicken and it's a great lunch or light supper by itself!
