This recipe has been a favorite in my family (minus the Durkee references) for years after finding it in a Southern church cookbook. It always gets raves and it is easy as you often have everything on hand. I keep frozen lemon juice in my freezer just for this recipe. it seems to go over well with kids and adults alike. I don't always do the veggies and I like it best if it has several hours to marinate. The leftovers are great too!
