Sunshine Salad will always taste like Virginia.

Jane and Jake were visiting Jake’s dear friend — lovingly known as Ma — when they were invited to lunch at her son’s home. It was a true Southern afternoon filled with laughter, hospitality, and that special kind of welcome you don’t forget.

At the center of the table sat a bowl of golden Sunshine Salad — light, citrusy, and full of unexpected joy. One bite, and it was sealed into memory.

Now, every time they make it, they’re transported back to that sun-soaked day in Virginia — where kindness was abundant, and the salad was as bright as the people who served it.
