Raw is a great way to get your veggies

and they go down real good in this recipe. You know why, don't you? It's called Bacon. Oh, and throw a little mayo and a little sugar. What's not to love. As my dear husband says: salt, sugar and grease, key ingredients for a surefire winner. Our friend Cleo introduced us to this delightful salad. Take it as your contribution to a covered dish outing and I'll guarantee you won't have leftovers and everyone will want the recipe. You can experiment with the type dried fruit and your preference of toasted nuts.
