I know I said 70's salads, I should say that is when I made them. I remember you must always keep these tinned items in your pantry. They made a quick last minute salad, so for sure jello was not involved, as that needed time to set. I know the harvard beets had a sauce(?),do they even make those anymore.I think that one was a can of beets, a can of corn niblets (sp) & maybe a handful of raisins lightly mixed together. I think SouthP has it right for the shredded carrots. Think I will look for the beets, haven't seen those in years. I need to bring a salad to a BBQ.
