Frog Eye Salad

I swear I have the largest recipe collection in the world! Besides having a cookbook collection, I have acquired recipes through recipe swaps by mail as well as from online recipe sites...where it's free to make a personal recipe box on the sites. Below is a favorite family recipe we use at most holidays.
