Betty's Salad is on the menu this week.  This recipe comes from my Aunt Barb.  Not only is this a great salad for summer on it's own, but it's also a great compliment to any other family meal you can think of.  The real gem of this recipe is it's dressing.  If you like a sweet and tangy combination when it comes to your dressings then this is one to try.
