Copper Coin Salad
This salad has been in my family for generations. My Papa created this salad, and it has been a hit at every summer family gathering we had. Everyone in our family continues the tradition of the Copper Coin Salad.

Enjoy
I really enjoyed writing this article, as this salad just appeared at our family gathering we had. The best part is I copied this from one of his original printed recipe cards. Brings back memories of when he would sit at his computer (before that they were all handwritten) and he would type them out, save them on one of his many floppy disks, and then print them out and put them in binders. Oh the binders he had on the shelves in the kitchen full of recipes.
