Family Favorite

I don't really have a recipe for this. Mom says Grandma also made Banana Salad so I know it has been around for years!

Banana Salad

Banana's cut into about 1 inch pieces

Cover banana's with Miracle Whip

Then roll into finely chopped peanuts.

Recipe from Mom's recipe box

I hadn't really noticed the date on this recipe! September 23 1956. The recipe is old and falling apart as you can see. I loved the ads on the back so had to show them too! Not really for sure if Mom ever made these cookies or not.
