This 12 hour Salad recipe was from my Mother’s collection. Over the years she changed the ingredients to whatever she had on hand. Once she made it with corn rather than peas and another time I remember she didn’t have celery so she substituted shredded carrots. Whatever the ingredients, the salad was always good. Do you have a variation of this recipe?
