This is a family favorite of ours as well, from the 1950's. We make it every Christmas and Easter for the cool freshness and pretty green color. We add 1 cup of chopped walnuts.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Howdy! I'm a half breed Tongan/American born in Salt Lake City but raised in Hurst, Texas. I currently reside in Provo Utah with my hubby and three children. I love to cook but baking is my passion. I love trying new recipes and serving them at family dinners to hear all the rave reviews. I'm working on posting some polynesian dishes but the tricky part is that none of the relatives that have taught me to make them ever measure ingredients--they all go by taste. So if I ever get the chance, I will one day break out with a polynesian cook-book (with precise measurments) for all those wanting to try authentic polynesian food. Its sooo yummy.
