I think strawberries are out of season. I make the salad my husband's
grandmother made every year. It goes really well with turkey and ham.

Apples
Seedless red or black grapes
Celery
Mini marshmallows
Mayo mixed with sugar and milk

It's about 50/50 apple chunks cut to about the same size as half of a grape.
I use the inner ribs from the celery and chop pretty fine and about a
quarter to half a bag of mini marshmallows. If I use two apples then about
3/4ths of a cup of mayo and 2 to 3 tablespoons of sugar is enough dressing.
Add just enough milk to make it a creamy consistancy.

It's one of the things that all the leftovers always get eaten.
