My dad has one mission for Thanksgiving. Okay, one mission besides running to the store before they close to grab whatever ingredients are missing. Hey, when three women are trying to bring a massive meal together, sometimes things get overlooked. But the night before, his mission is to make this salad. A very strange, very 70's concoction, but it's been part of my family's Thanksgiving ever since I can remember. And who can argue with miniature marshmallows?
