For as long as I can remember, this salad has always been an automatic choice when I wanted a LUBY FIX & went there to eat. I always felt so saintly bypassing all their lovely desserts in favor of this sweet treat & I still do that ea time I am in Tulsa to visit family & friends. I halved the recipe for 3 of us on the occasion of the birthday of my MIL, used the drained pineapple juice to plump the raisins & served as part of her favorite meal - leg of lamb. DH & MIL loved it! Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. -
Wonderful! So easy to prepare and so good. Actually better when refrigerated overnight, and even easier since you don't need to plump the raisins first if made ahead. Served with homemade chicken strips, homemade chick fil A sauce copycat, mashed potatoes, cole slaw, and pecan pie which was a calorie fest but so good! Even so, this salad was the only leftover that I went for. Yum! Thanks for sharing the recipe, Paula! -
Very simple with things I had on hand! Thanks:) -

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
