I instantly fell in love with this salad at the reception, and was craving it last week, so I went for it. I consulted a few online recipes, and also looked in the cookbook my family members published recently (with recipes from many of my relatives). There were 3 recipes in there. I took certain things from all the recipes, adding my own touches here and there. Here is my version.

One of my all-time favorite salads (except for the raisins ;) ) and one that I haven't made in years. Your version looks delish! Did your fam like it?
I don't like raisins either, Linda, but I just put in a handful (of golden raisins) and it was good. My husband liked it, but the kids were put off by the raw onion.
