Has anyone heard of 24 hour salad? If so would you please share the recipe?

Question

My mother used to buy this at a department store deli in downtown Buffalo NY many, many years ago. It was made with green grapes, pineapple, cherries and coconut. I think the dressing was a cooked variety. It was unlike anything I have ever had. I would love to have it again, any ideas?

You may also like 9 day salad. My in-laws like that type of stuff. They are both similar. I don't know the recipe, but I am certain that you can find it on the web. If not, I might be able to e-mail the family.
