minutesThis is a favorite recipe. My grandmother made this all the time. If friends were coming over for lunch or if we were fly fishing and on the river. This salad has great flavor, crunch and is one of my all time favorite recipes ever. If you ever visited my grandmother or fished with her this was a staple recipe made over and over. It is delicious and has stood the test of time. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. I have even made it for dinner and served it with warmed naan bread or tortillas. Plus this salad is so easy to put together.
