A Healthier Version of My Favorite Salad

This recipe is an old favorite of mine.  I first tasted it about 15 years ago at a Church Potluck Dinner and immediately fell in love with it (thanks, Kay).  With the beginning of the new year, I feel I should be more conscious of eating healthily, so I made a few changes to the old recipe and found that the salad is still delicious!
