Hi again:I forgot to mention that I prepare the ingredients ahead of time and mix them at the last minute before I bring the bowl to church. I image that it is a popular dish as the ladies in charge of the lunch always ask me to make a salad...Dolores

I make this salad whenever I am asked to make a salad for lunch after a funeral. It is colorful and different from the other salads. People usually bring salads such as potatoe, macaroni or rice. My family also enjoy it very much. It makes a nice presentation.Dolores
