7-up salad has been a staple at our table for years. Holiday and any occasion. One thing is always agreed upon- no matter how much is made, there is never enough. Everyone loves it- even the little ones.
A few years ago I substituted cranberry Sierra Mist for the 7-up and it gave it just a little extra kick. No one could tell the difference. They loved it just the same. This was the one thing my mother and my cousin counted on for Christmas and Thanksgiving so they taught me how to make it and now I carry on the tradition ;)
Y'all enjoy
