I have had this salad a few times at potlucks but have never been able to figure out what was all in it. I just knew that it tasted so good ... but then I always forget about it. Well the other day I was talking to my mom about it and she said her mom used to make that salad and she was pretty sure it was just a few ingredients mixed together. So, I googled it ... and amazingly enough I found it. I know, should have just done that from the beginning, right?! Anyways, memory served my mom correctly - it was just as simple as mixing a few ingredients together ... and voila - you have a delicious and nutritious salad!
As I said, I know that it looks and sounds gross - but if you can just get past that and try it, it's actually really good! We are having ours today for lunch ... can't wait! Enjoy!!

*My Notes*
This is the healthy version of this recipe. If you are not concerned with the nutritional value of the salad you can use the regular version of the items instead, they both taste great!
