Frog Eye Salad

This salad needs to sit overnight or several hours to set up, I hate when a recipe doesn’t state that up front and I’m all excited to make it for dinner but haven’t read to the end to realize it will need more hours to complete than I have time for! This salad is great for large gatherings and holds well for several days.
