Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
Directions
Place the potatoes in a 2-quart pot and cover with water. Boil for about 12 minutes, until tender.
Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon, rinse with cool water, and set aside.
Add the green beans to the pot and boil for about 3 minutes, until crisp-tender. Rinse the beans with cool water and drain well. (You can cook the potatoes and beans the day before and refrigerate until ready to assemble the salads.)
When ready to assemble the salads, slice the potatoes 1/4-inch thick and place in a bowl with green beans. Add 1/4 cup of the salad dressing and toss to mix. Set aside.
Arrange a quarter of the lettuce over the bottom of each of four serving plates and top with a quarter of the onion rings.
Arrange the center of each salad and drizzle each salad with a tablespoon of the remaining dressing. Arrange a quarter of the potato mixture and 4 tomatoes around the outer edges of each plate and top with a sprinkling of olives. Serve immediately.

Got this from my wonderful sis-in-law Laura. Unbeatable!
Use any one of your favorite pie crusts, I prefer graham cracker crust.
Remove the label from the can of condensed milk. Do open the can. Take the can and stick it in a pot. Cover it with water. Put the pot on a stove and turn up the heat. When boiling, let the pot and can simmer gently for about two hours. Add more water to the pan, as necessary, when the level boils down too much.
When it's done, let it cool for a while and use a hot pad.
The resulting product should be colored tan or brown.
Once it has been boiled for 2 hrs. it becomes like toffee. Slice 3 bananas and put them in the pie crust open the can of "toffee" and pour on bananas. Top with cool whip and serve warm. So good, very rich. Love it!
