Thank you! My great grandmother, born in 1891, would make this for family dinners and my mother would always tell me not to eat it all! I’m so happy to have found this recipe! It brings back happy memories.

An interesting & unusual salad for me to be serving, but then, I do like bananas & peanuts, so . . . Shared this with a neighbor couple who were a bit hesitant at first, but they admitted afterwards that they were happy with it, & it certainly didn't go to waste! Thanks for posting the recipe!
