Jeff’s family often makes this for family get togethers, and this recipe was in Jeff’s family cookbook from his mom, so I wanted to preserve it. In the picture, I didn’t make it with the pineapple, but I think it would’ve been a nice texture–so I think I’ll try it in the future. This salad is versatile enough to be a side for a BBQ or a nice Sunday dinner. I’ve even thought about making both the pistachio salad and this salad for Halloween to have green and orange.
And this one is naturally gluten free.
Make it a meal with:
- Burgers or turkey
- Chips or mashed potatoes
- Corn
