Description
Frog-Eye Salad is a delicious dessert salad that has a very unique name, but I guarantee there is no frogs in it. It is all sweet flavors and acini di pepe that gives the dish its name, as it has a certain appearance. Great comfort food for the holidays and something you should try today!
