Recipe’s Story: Anecdote (Three to Five Sentences)
This is my family’s favorite summertime salad! It is always a special treat when someone takes the time to make this salad for our family Sunday dinners at my uncle’s pool. An added bonus of this recipe is, if your family is large like mine, it is very easy to double, triple, or quadruple this recipe.
