Family Favorite Recipe: Mermaid Salad

This is a salad my mom used to make all the time and for some reason we haven't had it in a really long time. Since we were heading to Arla and Teddy's on Sunday for a pool party, I was looking for a good salad to bring. Michael remembered me talking about this salad and suggested I make it. I've never made it before but it comes together really easily and is delicious. It tastes just like my moms, which is always good! Try it, you'll be glad you did.
