I have no idea where my mother got this recipe. It may have been in the era of Watergate and she was just being funny. But it is a salad we had often. Usually at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Maybe because of the color? It is an easy salad I make in the summer. It is cool, sweet and fast. It is a great “take along” dish for an outdoor picnic. You can make it the night before to allow it to set up, but it should be set on pan of ice to keep cool once you arrive.
