This recipe was developed by my Aunt Myra from Georgia and has been a mainstay throughout our large family for decades. It is a perfect side dish for potlucks, barbecues and gatherings. It can also be enjoyed as a light main course, especially in the summer when it is so refreshing. It is simultaneously crunchy and creamy and the layering makes it look nice, particularly when made in a glass bowl.
