This wonderful salad recipe was made at my brother's wedding reception a while ago and I fell in love with it. I call it Mom's Salad because Eric's mother-in-law made it, then my mom got a hold of the recipe and she made it all the time! My son Tyler will eat 4-5 servings of the salad when I make it, which makes another mother happy. If you want to keep leftovers, pour the dressing on each individual salads. If you are serving a group, pour the dressing on just before serving, toss and enjoy this amazing salad.
