Copycat Crystal Grill's Pink Velvet

 If you have ever been to Crystal Grill in Greenwood, Mississippi you have seen Pink Velvet on their menu. I order this quite a bit although I ask for a dip of Chicken salad because I can't eat the sandwich. When I order it if I'm with my family my grand-children always want a bite, so this was made for them.

I received many complements on this dish and I am sure that it will be a part of every holiday meal from now on.
