So funny! I just had this at my DH's grandma's house, minus a few ingredients. I hate fruit in savory foods and celery in any form, yet I ate it up. Must be my love of mayo trumping all. It was delicious - magic salad.

My Momused to make a version, leaving out the mandarin oranges (just grapes for the fruit) and adding slivered almonds. Oh, but no chow mein noodles, that I would not do.

Olives, green onions and fruit together? Sounds very interesting.
