This Frosted Salad is delicious! To tell the truth, I would just eat the topping and leave the rest, but that wouldn’t be fair to anyone else.
I cannot for the life of me remember where I got this recipe–maybe a magazine–and it has been DECADES since I made it. A browsing session through our family cookbook brought back the memories of that topping and I was like “oh yes, this will be made for our Father’s Day dinner.”
