TRADITION

This salad was passed on to my family by my Aunt Sayda, which she got from her mother in law - Grandma Call. I mostly serve this salad during the Easter holiday(because of it's color) but it can be served with any meal. My Aunt and her children continue to prepare and serve this salad in memory of Grandma Call, because it was one of her favorite salads. I too have a fond memory of Grandma Call . . . I always wanted to help her in the kitchen when we go visit her in Logan, UT, if she was making this salad she would always ask me chop the celery. And she would "say O my word you've done a beautiful job on that celery, you've really have left it so finely chopped!" I always thought I had left it to small, but she insisted that it was beautiful!
