I had this salad this past weekend when we celebrated Father’s Day. Ron’s mom, Cindy Betty, made it and it truly is a winner. It not only tastes wonderful but it also is beautiful. You can trust it to turn out perfectly every time and your family and/or guests will love it.

Try it. You’ll like it!
