This salad recipe comes from a great friend who I worked with at Hewlett-Packard back in the 90s. He was one of the funniest men I have ever met and we actually had a birthday party for him where we made T-shirts with all of his iconic saying on them. This was his signature potluck dish and I have been making it ever since.
