Personal Notes:
This is a delicious dish for a potluck! Some people call it Frog Eye Salad. It makes a large amount but will keep several days in the refrigerator. It can also be frozen. You will probably spend some time explaining exactly what it is made out of, but once convinced, they are never sorry they tried it.
