This pretty combination always gets rave reviews when Mom serves it. She fixes it the night before so that the creamy sweet dressing marinates the vegetables.

I have made this recipe for many years. Always a big hit flavor can't be beat. I get asked to bring this often. I just sent the recipe after serving at a pot luck today. Can be made in minutes. My family loves it too! :)

It was easy to make and very tasty. I followed the tip and made it ahead and let the vegetables marinate in the dressing overnight.

I have made this recipe several times over the years since it first appeared in Taste of Home. I had lost my copy, so I needed to visit the website to find it. I don't change anything in the recipe and it's fantastic

This recipe is so good! The only thing I did different is that I added some chopped purple onion.

Don't cut corners or try to lighten up the most important ingredient of all for flavor (bacon)!

Fry up "real bacon" while you are cutting every thing up.

The taste will be worth it, I promise!

I believe you will be asked for the recipe on this one.

I love this recipe. I like to lighten it up with Light Miracle Whip (1/2 cup only), bacos instead of bacon and light cheese. I add the bacos and cheese right before serving to prevent sogginess.

I am curious why you would not include the recipe along with your message rather than force those of us on dial-up to go to another site & wait forever for it to come up on the screen.
