Notes: Mother, known as Nanny to Carrie and her cousins, always made this salad for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I can never remember a holiday meal it was not served. One memorable Christmas after we kids were grown, she prepared it with extraordinary emotion. After that we always called it "Nanny's Crying Christmas Salad."
