Just 1 of 100 ways to use Top Roman...

This recipe has to be a Utah original. I had never heard of it until I moved here, and since then I have come across a variety of different versions. Some more spicy, some more sweet, some not so great, and some really delicious. I got this one from my Aunt Dana. So far it's one of the top two versions that are my favorite.

If anyone knows who or where this recipe idea originated, I'd love to know the story. And if you've never heard of it or tried it, you should!

(As a budget side note: this is probably the cheapest salad to make that will feed an army.)
