I have had this salad, and it’s delicious. The original recipe was on the back of Pet Evaporated Milk can from long ago. Eva Miles, my sister’s former mother-in-law, made the recipe hers by adding the horseradish. My sister, Gail, still has the original recipe torn off a can of Pet Milk, with her mother-in-law’s notes on it. The horseradish adds the
“je ne said quoi” to the recipe. Gail and I both agree that more horseradish would be even better.
