My mother would alternate every year. One for thanksgiving and the other for Christmas. The next year switch them up. Brings back good memories.
Thank you.

Our mom was famous for bringing her “green jello mold” to every Easter holiday. Of the two salads, that is the one that brings back memories for us! Happy Thanksgiving!
