Since my mother and I were Weight Watchers during the 1960's and 70's, the recipes of that time are nostalgic to me. My experience in your Retro experiment was typical of what I've been reading from others. The recipe for "Hawaiian Beachcomber's Salad" sounded interesting, to say the least, but ended up tasting quite good. It was easy to put together, low in the present day Points Plus value, and filling. Thank you for the opportunity to participate. It brought back fond memories of my days as a child Weight Watcher. Thanks Mimi.

I read the ingredients and thought, "GROSS" but after reading your review I am thinking about trying it. Just thinking right now but I'll let you know if I get brave.
I thought the same as Lynn....gross, but I may give it a go too. Just not sure about the banana/tuna combo! Have a great day!
I googled this salad because I loved it in the 70’s!
