I have had this recipe since my Junior High School days.  We made this in Home Economics class at Stowell School, Hannibal, Missouri, when I was in the seventh grade.  My mother, Pauline Tate, used to make this salad a lot.  It was one of her favorites.  I still make it for Larry, occasionally, and he always enjoys it.
