Going Green in a Delicious Way

In the late 70’s to mid 80’s I worked as a Deli-Bake Manager at Star Market. On the bakery end we would make fresh donuts daily and on the Deli end there were quite a few of the salads that we made in store. This was the one salad we could never keep enough of; it went as fast as we made it. Back in the early 80’s you would see this salad at every picnic or potluck family get together. It’s no wonder it was so popular, it was a pretty shade of green, it was sweet & creamy, easy to make and very inexpensive. I’m surprised that I don't see it as much anymore. I did happen to spot it this weekend at a local supermarket in the Deli section, it brought back many memories.
