Description
This amazing salad recipe was given to me by a friend who used to know someone at the now closed Larry’s Markets in the Seattle area. I’ve added to the recipe a little — so it’s not exactly the same… but better! I take this to every picnic and everyone loves it! May also add diced chicken for a variation.
