GRAND PRAIRIE SALAD

This is a recipe that Sybil Van Zandt shared with me years ago. You can serve this salad anytime of year, but it is especially good during spring or summer when it's warm outside! It's a cold salad and one that you can make ahead of time. Try it once and it will become a favorite forever! Thanks, Sybil!

Corn bread salad may sound a little funny to some of you, but I can promise that it's always a "hit", especially in the summer or during any holiday! It's especially good when you cook some pinto beans and grill some chicken. Try it and let me know what you think.
