"This salad is the quintessential regional dish of LA (lower Alabama) Gulf Coast area. It was invented by Bill Bayley, who owned a steak and seafood restaurant of good repute. It must be prepared exactly as directed, with careful layering. Use the coldest ice water you can find. The longer it marinates, the better. This recipe sounds simple but the results are indescribably delicious. This well-guarded recipe was finally published in 1964 in the Junior League of Mobile cookbook, Recipe Jubilee."
