Description

This delicious salad has been around a VERY long time. Yep, it’s that good to have stood the test of time. If you’re on the fence as to whether to have a green salad or pasta salad, serve this one. It is the best of both worlds. If you want it to be a main course salad, then toss in some grilled chicken.
