Congealed salads were definitely a staple at our dinner table growing up. Especially Sunday lunches after church. Aunt Sara would bring one every time she came to have lunch at Grandmother's house. She had a specific basket that she carried it in and it sat in the foot of the passenger side front seat of her car on her short trip from Wingate to Monroe. Every time. They were always delicious. i have several of her recipes for congealed salads and i love them. This recipe, though, Mom got from a dear family friend, Bobbi Yandle, who worked with Mom and lived just a few houses down from us. It's a very pretty salad and looks good on any table...especially at Christmas :) i don't make them as often as i use to because, frankly, Michael does not care for them so i wait until we have company over before i make one. Otherwise, i would end up eating the entire thing by myself...which i have no trouble doing :) Enjoy!
